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 2024 Canon is superb. One of the standouts of the vintage, the 2024 possesses striking mid-palate depth to match its vertical personality. Chalk, white pepper, mint, lavender, rose petal, slate and blue/purplish fruit all stain the palate. There's gorgeous depth and density here, and yet the 2024 remains a super-classic wine from the property. This is a real stunner. That's all there is to it. Tasted four times.
Beautiful fragrance on the nose, really alive and forward, roses, purple flowers and red berry fruit. Lifted and intense with a real push of cherry and strawberry fruit. So clean, pure, lively and tangy, the acidity and fruit is really at the fore here. Tannins are almost subtle, gently giving frame while the minerality adds an extra layer of complexity on the finish. I love this because it’s playful, really not serious, harmonious and full of flavour. Juicy, alive and mouthwatering. Such a great wine and one where you really can't taste the difficulties of the year in the glass. Crystalline and pure, elegant and super charming. Ageing 49% new oak barrels, 6% foudres for 16 to 18 months. 3.35pH.A yield of 45hl/ha.
Canon initially appears discreet. It is somewhat reductive, but gradually reveals itself, revealing nuances of eucalyptus, herbs, peonies, and pepper. The wine is dense in the opening and exhibits a straightforward and fresh character. Its compact tannins are highly defined. They even have a meaty note and offer valuable support, as does the acidity, which is both structuring and refreshing. The finish is salty, juicy, and lingering. What a long finish and what harmony! 2029-2049
