Château Canon 1er Grand Cru (2020)

New

Lush and deep in colour, this has a nose of peony and broom, and a sweet core of deep cherry.  The perfume evolves on the palate, adding intensity but without any sense of heaviness. It has more volume and sleeker tannins than its sibling Ch. Berliquet. The profile is of red fruit, tense and set to burst in the mouth, but without any sense of pressure or being over-forced. As befits its owners, Chanel, this is highly sophisticated haute couture.

    Château Canon, a famous St.Emilion property is named after Jacques Kanon who bought the estate in 1760. Since 1996 it has been owned by Chanel, who also owns Château Rauzan-Ségla in Margaux.

     

    Located in the centre of the St.Emilion appellation, to the south-west of St-Emilion town, Canon has 18 hectares of vineyards split between the limestone plateau and the clay/loam côtes. They are planted with 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc. Vinification is traditional: up to 20 days in temperature-controlled wooden vats followed by 18 months' maturation in oak barrels (70% new).

     

    This wine needs cellaring to show at its best and mature Canon reeks of the soft, buttery Merlot grape as only the very top St-Emilions and Pomerols can. It is classified as a 1er Grand Cru Classé (B).
