Auslieferung bis zum Herbst 2027!
Delivery until Fall 2027!

This is a gorgeous Canon, with the austerity of limestone on full display, as you would expect in this vintage, but a creamy edge comes in through the mid palate. Clear precision, flesh pared from flesh, peony, peach pit, cherry stone, damson, blueberry, graphite, crayon, pumice, lemongrass, gunsmoke, this has tons of layers and waves of complexity, classical and balanced. 44hl/ha yield, organic certified. 3.35 pH. 49% new oak. Harvest 19 September to 9 October.
95/100 Jane Anson

(Saint-Émilion; 78% Merlot; 22% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 44 hl/ha; 13.5% alcohol; tasted at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin, re-tasted at Château Canon). A little fuller and a little more herbal and darker berry fruited than Berliquet but cut at least from the same stylistic cloth. The fruit profile is more expansive – ranging from loganberry and raspberry, in finely pixilated detail, to bramble and a little cassis and even damson. More ample in frame and even more crystalline in the mid-palate than Berliquet. Gracious. Elegant. Hyper-stylish and charged with a lovely racy acidity and that cool cedar touch. A lovely menthol note too on the finish interweaving with the cassis. Even fuller and richer when re-tasted a week on. Quite chewy on the finish indicating the significant aging potential here.

78% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc. pH 3.35. Aging 16-18 months in 49% new French oak. Deep garnet-purple colored. Prances out to the glass with eager-to-please scents of Morello cherries, fresh raspberries, and bay leaves, leading to hints of graphite and tree bark. The medium-bodied palate is subtle and lively with just enough red berry flavors and a chalkiness on the finish.
