Château Canon ligger majestætisk på det historiske kalkstensplateau i Saint-Émilion og er i dag anerkendt som en af appellationens absolutte frontløbere. Slottet blev grundlagt i det 18. århundrede og har siden gennemgået en bemærkelsesværdig transformation – særligt efter at Chanel-familien overtog ejerskabet i 1996.
Det virkelige gennembrud kom dog i 2015, da den tidligere Champagne-direktør Nicolas Audebert blev teknisk direktør. Under hans ledelse er Château Canon trådt ind i en ny storhedstid med imponerende årgange, der kombinerer kalkstenspræcision med dyb frugt og yndefuld lagringsevne.
Canon er kendt for sin elegante, lodrette struktur og vinens evne til at ældes med skønhed og ynde. Stilistisk balancerer den mellem klassisk Saint-Émilion-finesse og moderne vinifikationspræcision.
I 2022 markerede Canon endnu et højdepunkt med 100 point fra bl.a. Wine Advocate – et symbol på slottets kontinuerlige kvalitetsløft og dets faste placering i Bordeaux’ superliga.

Blackberries, blueberries and dark chocolate with bark, mushrooms and chalk. Lavender, too. Full-bodied with firm tannins that are polished and velvety. White pepper, gesso and crushed stone. It’s full-bodied and layered with tightness and focus and a long finish. It’s solid and stalwart, as usual. Reminds me of the very special 1955. One for the cellar. Give this until 2026 to see what it really has.
The 2019 Château Canon is another brilliant wine from this talented team that delivers everything you could want from this incredible terroir located on the upper limestone plateau. Based on 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, it has a pure, incredibly refined, yet still powerful profile that takes time to unwind. Offering up beautiful notes of black raspberries, wild strawberries, spring flowers, chalky minerality, and graphite, it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a finish that's something to behold. This isn't the massive style of the 2015 and reminds me slightly of the 2016. It's perfectly balanced and, again, the purity and finesse are off the charts. It needs to be forgotten for 4-5 years and enjoyed over the following 2-3 decades. Hats off to Nicolas Audebert for another sensational wine.
The 2019 Canon is creamy and layered. A wine of immense charm and sensuality, the 2019 is immediately appealing today, but also clearly has the potential to age for many decades. The 2019 is not as exuberant as most recent vintages, and yet its balance is simply magnificent. Readers can expect an aristocratic Saint-Émilion that is holding so much in reserve. Patience is key. Tasted three times.
