Château CANON
1er grand cru classé
- 2016
- Saint-Émilion
Purchased in 1996 by the Chanel group (also in Rauzan-Ségla), Canon required a complete restoration, both of the vines and the cellar/vat room tool. Since 2008, Canon has fully justified its status as a 1er grand cru classé, with brilliant, distinguished wines that draw their energy from the Cabernets francs at the top of the limestone plateau.
The 2016 vintage in the press:
J-M Quarin (February 2020): 99/100 “Great nose, very aromatic, fine, fruity and subtle. Minute on the entry, very aromatic in the middle, complex, with an airy body, the wine develops delicately, meticulously fat, with aromas and a profile of pinot noir, rather than cabernet franc and merlot. Joy, pleasure, the unbelievable, I swallow!"
