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.

The 2023 Canon has turned out brilliantly, unfurling aromas of cassis, mulberries, rose petals, raspberries and violets. Medium- to full-bodied, it is layered and finely textured, built around a seamless, deep core of fruit framed by powdery, velvety tannins and concludes with a long, chalk-inflected, crystalline finish. Highly expressive of its terroir through its powdery tannins and limestone-driven finish, it is also very much of its vintage, combining vibrant acidity with an unusually approachable profile. This is a blend of 71% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc, all matured in 50% new oak.
A blend of 71% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Canon has a pH of 3.42 and was aged in barriques for 16–18 months, of which 50% were new. It is deep garnet-purple in color, soaring from the glass with vibrant notes of red cherry preserves, black raspberries, and wild blueberries, followed by nuances of violets, cinnamon stick, and fragrant earth. The medium- to full-bodied palate shimmers with energetic red and blue fruits, framed by super-satiny tannins and compelling tension, finishing long and fragrant. Absolutely ethereal!
This may be one of the wines of the vintage, with brightness and ethereal character that give it an almost magical presence. Aromas of violets, lavender and blackberries with transparency and vividness. It’s medium-bodied with elegance and presence that give endless length. A benchmark. The tannins and acidity caress every millimetter of your palate. 71% merlot and 29% cabernet franc. Try after 2030, but already a joy to taste.
