Heiner Lobenberg om:
Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2017

Lobenberg: 22 hektar. Kalkstensplateau, der ligger under et let lag sand. Den anden vin Croix Canon. Canon selv er som sagt 22 hektar af det allerbedste terroir. Canon skal kun konkurrere med Beausejour Duffau og Ausone. Canon har været ren kult siden senest 2015. 77% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc. Ingen frostskader overhovedet i 2017. Meget fin lakrids og violer i næsen. Men også lidt fersken og appelsinskal. Meget fin og æterisk. Stilistisk minder Canon meget mere om Beausejour Duffau end Ausone. Som hos Beausejour er der her lagt vægt på friskhed, men ikke så dramatisk som hos Ausone. Denne vin viser vidunderlig moden rød frugt sammen med den sorte frugt. Slåen, hindbær, ribs. Ret subtilt, understøtter de sorte kirsebær og brombær. Vinen er meget sammenhængende, fuld af harmoni, men den har ikke i nærheden af den ekstremt elegante finesse, som 100-point-vinen fra 2016 har. Det er en vidunderlig vin, og hvis jeg ikke stadig havde de to tidligere årgange ved hånden, ville jeg nok give den en højere karakter. Som det er nu, er det simpelthen en drømme-Saint-Emilion, et must-buy, men den har stadig sin pris. Et must-buy for meget velhavende kendere. Den mangler det sidste spark fra 2016, men vinen er en fantastisk ven, man elsker bare at drikke den. Og den har også noget storhed. 97/100

Galloni om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Nicolas Audebert and his team have done it again. The 2017 Canon is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Rich and vertical in construction, the 2017 possesses off-the-charts richness and intensity in all of its dimensions. In the glass, the 2017 is sumptuous and layered, with superb detail and tons of sheer pedigree. In 20 years, readers will have a fabulous time tasting the 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 together and debating their respective merits. Dark plum fruit, striking Franc aromatics and the clean, focused energy of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau make for a ravishing, exquisite wine of the highest level. In a word: breathtaking. 97/100

Jeb Dunnuck om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Showing spectacularly, the 2017 Chateau Canon checks in as a final blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc that’s from one of the most exceptional terroirs in the appellation. Hitting 14% alcohol (the pH is 3.66), it reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as gorgeously sweet raspberries and cassis-like fruit interwoven with notes of spring flowers, rose petal, white chocolate, and spice. While it doesn’t have the massive opulence of the 2015 and 2016, it’s more classically styled as well flawlessly balanced, with a terrific sense of minerality, ultra-fine tannins, and a brilliant finish. Give bottles 5-7 years in the cellar, and it will evolve gracefully for 30-40 years. Hats off to Nicolas Audebert as well as the team of Thomas Duclos for one of the wines of the vintage! 97/100

Parker om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Canon bursts from the glass with expressive notions of baked black cherries, kirsch, plum preserves and black raspberries plus hints of red roses, Ceylon tea, black olives and fertile loam. Medium-bodied, the palate is wonderfully elegant and refined, with a soft, finely grained texture and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. The blend is 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc and it was aged for 18 months in French oak, 50% new. 96/100

A monumental wine in this vintage the 2017 Château Canon is composed of 73% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc this opens to stunning aromas ripe dark berries which are joined together with nuances of spices, tobacco and graphite, violets and mineral nuances that all take shape. On the palate this is medium-bodied and impeccably structured with lovely underlying acidity framing its core and keeping it fresh and inviting through the finish. This shows wonderful elegance and class, and is ultimately an age-worthy wine that should have a sensational future ahead. 96/100

Chateau Canon

Vinmarkerne på Chateau Canon ligger på plateauet i Saint Emilion med ler og dyb kalksten. Den udsatte syd/sydvest-eksponering giver druerne et betydeligt højere antal solskinstimer, hvilket resulterer i en bedre modning af druerne.
