Order wines : Château Canon 2021

Saint-Emilion - Premier Grand Cru Classé B

97/100 James Suckling

When to drink this wine : 2026 - 2050+. A great wine for laying down

Tasted by J.S. in 2023: "Lots of crisp red cherries and blue plums followed by violets, fresh sage and Christmas spices with baking spices and coconut. Medium to full-bodied, with superb, racy, fine-grained tannins and refreshing acidity that gives it bite. Magnificently fine and elegant, it is harmonious and precise. Delicious too. It's already drinkable, but it needs a few more years to come into its own. Try it after 2026 and it should remain magnificent for a long time."

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.
