12: Erstaunlich wenig Reifetöne. Irgendwie kann man im Innern immer noch einen rubinen Schimmer sehen. Wunderschön florales Bouquet, es duftet nach getrockneten Blättern von einer dunkelroten Rose, Schwarzbrotkruste und Schokotönen, das Bouquet ist beruhigend. Und genau so geht es im überraschend grossartigen Gaumen weiter, das Ganze ist wunderschön ausbalanciert, die Aromen sind im schwarzbeerigen Bereich, im Extrakt spürt man getrocknete Pflaumenschalen. Ich hatte ihn nur kurz vor dem Geniessen dekantiert und dies schien mir so richtig, als ich den letzten Schluck nahm. Es ist zu hoffen, dass die neuen Canons’s irgendwann auch wieder diese Klasse erreichen. austrinken

Rather a brute for Canon. Full-bodied and very fruity but slightly hard and tannic. Still, you'll find plenty of beautiful berry, chocolate and earth aromas and flavors. Drinkable now.--Canon vertical. –JS

Château Canon
This quiet St. Emilion property located close to the centre of St. Emilion village is owned by the Wertheimer family, the owner of Chanel SA, who also own Château Rauzan Ségla in Margaux. Despite having a notable amount of Merlot (75%) in its 32 hectares of vineyards, it has a wine style different from many other St. Emilion estates in that its wines tend to be firm, chiseled and focused in their youth rather than voluptuous and round like many others. As a result, some feel that it has a more Médoc feel compared to its peers. It is also one of the best châteaux to access the incredible limestone caves that extend for over 70 hectares below the centre of the town. The limestone was originally extracted to build St. Emilion, Libourne and the neighbouring villages and the caves were used to hide both people and wine during World War II. Since the 1996 vintage, Canon's quality has gone from strength-to-strength following considerable investment by the family to modernise its cellars, replant and reorganise its vineyards and even add additional parcels from Curé Bon, a former neighbouring château.
