Château Canon de Brem 1996 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- $20
From the Moueix family of Pétrus, this is a beauty that shows off all that’s good in Right Bank Merlot-dominated wines. Luscious and crammed with succulent plummy fruit, there’s so much full-bodied warmth here that you can’t stop drinking it once you start. A model of food-friendly, elegant wine.

Château Canon 2005 Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- $40
Just hinting at maturity, this rich and stylish wine features finely balanced tannins, a juicy blackberry flavor and fruity ripeness. Using fruit sourced from the small appellation of Canon-Fronsac, on the hill close to Saint-Émilion, this wine is ready to drink and is full of flavor, with concentration on the finish.

Château Coustolle 2005 La Horse Red (Canon-Fronsac)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
It’s appropriate that this wine is served at the Crazy Horse saloon in Paris. Made from a selection of old vines, La Horse is in the modern, polished idiom, a super-ripe wine, very concentrated, packed with blackberry jelly and bitter chocolate flavors. Give it 3–4 years, but its considerable power and intensity is already there.
