  • Goedhuis, January 2013

    Stunning pure sweet spiced berry fruit nose. This is an extremely intense and conentrated wine, with beautifully layered flavours of dark berried fruits. Wonderfully complete, with real density and a bright fresh finish. Very lovely inded.

  • Goedhuis, April 2010, Score: 93-95

    A very balanced St Emilion, this is vibrant and fresh, with gentle subtle sweetness of fruit and appealingly integrated tannins. A striking style highlighting what a fabulous terroir this picturesque estate possesses. For St Emilion lovers, this is an absolute buy.

  • Neal Martin, March 2019, Score: 91

    The 2009 Canon has a surprisingly muted bouquet despite rigorous aeration, reluctantly offering black fruit, meat juices and light garrigues-like aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy, slightly coarse tannin, quite spicy but overall, rather overbearing and lacking tension on the finish. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners’ 2009 Bordeaux tasting. 2019-2035

  • Robert Parker, February 2012, Score: 94

    The finest Canon since the 1982, the 2009 (75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc) reveals a dense blue/purple color along with a classic nose of chalk dust, blueberries, black raspberries, black currants and a touch of wood smoke. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and loaded with an inner framework of minerality and moderately high tannins, this backward, but stylish, concentrated Canon will benefit from 7-8 years of cellaring and last for three decades. Drink: 2019 - 2049

  • Robert Parker, April 2010, Score: 93-95

    This is the best Canon since 1982, and it is possibly capable of eclipsing that legendary vintage. It has taken a while for the proprietors, the Wertheimer brothers (the owners of Chanel and the Margaux estate Rauzan-Segla) to get Canon back to its former glory. Yields in 2009 were 35 hectoliters per hectare, and the harvest occurred between September 28 and October 5. The blend is 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, with a natural alcohol level of 14%. Dense ruby/purple and full-bodied, with terrific blueberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with spring flower garden scents, with extraordinary density, purity, and a multi-layered texture, this is a prodigious Canon with sweet tannins and lots of viscosity. It should drink well for 30 or more years. Bravo! (Tasted three times.) Drink: 2010 - 2040

  • Decanter, April 2010, Score: 18.5

    Brilliant this year - so satisfying and refined. Has to be the best Canon for a number of years. Certainly no block-buster but pure and silky with length and line. Exquisite. Drink 2016-2040.

  • Jancis Robinson, April 2010, Score: 17.5

    A little paler than some. Lightish cherry red. Glossy, gamey, almost animal nose. Rich and sweet but with a certain dryness on the finish. There is some real life here. Very glamorous. Sumptuous and flattering, very polished, racy and sinewy and like a racehorse. Good enterprising energetic stuff!

  • Wine Spectator, April 2010, Score: 95-98

    What a gorgeous nose, with sweet and delicate fruits such as sliced plums that turn to milk chocolate and flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish. You want to drink this right away. 75 percent Merlot and 25 percent Cabernet Franc.

Chateau Canon is located on St Emilions celebrated limestone plateau, and known for producing some of the appelations age worthy and elegant wines. It has enjoyed a modern renaissance since being acquired in 1996 by Chanel, who also own Chateau Rauzan Segla and Chateau Berliquet. With significant investment in the vineyards and winery, Canon has soared in both quality and demand. Its unique walled Merlot vineyard, worked only by horse and hand-harvested for the Grand Vin, sits at the entrance to Saint-Émilion village, while the rest of its 18 hectares are planted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc on a mix of plateau limestone and clay. Characteristically, Canon demands cellaring throughout its youth, rewarding patience with the sumptuous, silky depth only the finest Saint-Émilions can deliver.Read less

Region

St Emilion

South of Pomerol lies the medieval, perched village of St Emilion. Surrounding St Emilion are vines that produce round, rich and often hedonistic wines. Despite a myriad of soil types, two main ones dominate - the gravelly, limestone slopes that delve down to the valley from the plateau and the valley itself which is comprised of limestone, gravel, clay and sand. Despite St Emilion's popularity today, it was not until the 1980s to early 1990s that attention was brought to this region. Robert Parker, the famous wine critic, began reviewing their Merlot-dominated wines and giving them hefty scores. The rest is history as they say. Similar to the Médoc, there is a classification system in place which dates from 1955 and outlines several levels of quality. These include its regional appellation of St Emilion, St Emilion Grand Cru, St Emilion Grand Cru Classé and St Emilion Premier Grand Cru Classé, which is further divided into "A" (Ausone and Cheval Blanc) and "B" (including Angélus, Canon, Figeac and a handful of others). To ensure better accuracy, the classification is redone every 10 years enabling certain châteaux to be upgraded or downgraded depending on on the quality of their more recent vintages.
