Château Canon 2017

Saint-Emilion - Premier Grand Cru Classé B

96+/100 Parker

Cellaring potential: Drink now through 2045.

Tasting note by Lisa Perrotti-Brown on March 16, 2020: "Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Canon bursts from the glass with expressive notions of baked black cherries, kirsch, plum and black raspberry preserves, plus notes of red roses, Ceylon tea, black olives and fertile earth. The palate is wonderfully elegant and refined, with a soft, finely grained texture and seamless freshness, and finishes long and mineral. The blend is 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 18 months in French oak, including 50% new wood."

Château Canon is best known for its red wines, made from Merlot, Cabernet Franc and, to a lesser extent, Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is the dominant grape variety, bringing richness, roundness and structure to the wines. Cabernet Franc adds complex aromas and elegant tannins, while Cabernet Sauvignon can add power and longevity to the wines.

Château Canon wines are characterized by elegance, finesse and balance. They offer aromas of ripe red fruit, blackcurrant and violet, as well as spicy, woody notes resulting from ageing in oak barrels. On the palate, the wines are generally silky, with well-integrated tannins and good acidity.
