2021 Canon

Château Canon, a timeless Premier Grand Cru Classé Château Canon was gradually brought into the 21st century after its acquisition in 1996 by the CHANEL Company. It took twenty years to restructure the vineyards, reinforce the underground galleries and return this 1er Grand Cru Classé to its former glory. Today, the property has reclaimed its original luster. Château Canon’s remarkable walled vineyard borders the entrance to the Saint-Emilion village. Several million years old, its soil is very homogeneous. The vine grows leisurely and harmoniously on limestone bedrock veined with clay. Its roots plunge down into the sediments, which have survived the ages, flourishing in the soil’s clay texture with good water retention. Then, under Château Canon’s vineyards lies a 30-kilometre labyrinth of underground galleries. These galleries are unique in the world and a well-kept secret. At Château Canon, we work alongside Nature. It is through the reiteration of Nature’s seasons and colours and the repetition of painstaking work, that our wines are built. Here, it is better to use craft methods, as the teams believe in the value of work carried out by hand. History and tradition are not regarded as a burden, but as a blessing. With each motion, the wine is reborn in the vineyard each year. Château Canon is a wine that speaks of longevity. It evokes the history of the property and resists the passage of time. It is both ageless and timeless. Voluptuous, full-bodied and silky, Château Canon defies the years. To be noted, the estate has started it conversion to Organic Farming in 2021. 2021 vintage - Tasting Notes Crackling with flashes of vibrant red, Château Canon 2021 is an electrifying experience. Raspberry and strawberry hues leap from the glass, locked in a heady embrace. Then the colour dims to a deep cherry-red, tinged with a bittersweet darkness. The body is firm, toned, dense but never overpowering. The mid-palate is a study in controlled tension and formal precision, enlivened by a radiant splash of orange blossom and a hint of sweetness more almond than honey. It is the kaleidoscopic complexity of the vintage which most impresses, an impudent invitation to explore and enjoy. Fruity, floral, herbaceous, smoky: equilibrium incarnate.
