Sikke en super typisk Merlot-næse i 2023! Jeg troede faktisk, at jeg var i Pomerol. De fyldigste sorte kirsebær - så intense! Søde morbær nedenunder. Wow, sikke en sky af smag! Lakrids, men ikke aggressiv, plus let chokolade. Og det hele er super elegant og subtilt. Denne vidunderlige smag af sorte kirsebær får en til at smile. Også masser af mørk blomme, men med en meget fyldig smag. Denne delikatesse går igen i munden, og det samme gør overdådigheden. Sorte kirsebær er klart den dominerende smag, meget intens. Søde morbær nedenunder, men også et strejf af sød cassis. Så lakrids igen med mynte og lidt eukalyptus. Grandios chic! Slet ikke en blockbuster, men utrolig fin. Ligesom forskellen i Bourgogne mellem Romanée-Conti og mange andre crus fra Vosne-Romanée, er det det samme her: Denne Canon er snarere verdensmester i Merlots utrolige finesse. Generelt er Canon en primus inter pares, ligesom Romanée-Conti i Vosne-Romanée. I Pomerol ville man sige, at dette er Lafleur eller Le Pin over alle Pomerols. Den er simpelthen fin og elegant! En uendelig skønhed! Ikke bedre end Cheval eller Beausejout eller Figeac i år, men bestemt en af årgangens fineste vine. Hvad Beausejour har af rødfrugtet finesse i 23, præsenterer Canon som sort, superblød frugt. To ekstremer af finesse. *** På Canon ligger 80 procent af vinmarkerne på ren kalksten på plateauet - den bedste beliggenhed i Saint-Émilion. 20 procent på plateauets sydlige skråninger med lidt mere ler og sand. Canon tilhører de samme ejere som Rauzan-Ségla. I årevis har dette været meget mere end et insidertip i Saint-Émilion. Faktisk en af de mest eftertragtede superstjerner. Virkelig svær at få fat i.

Årgangsrapport

Bordeaux 2023 fra en eksperts perspektiv på et modent og tidligt drikkeligt år med elegante, smigrende og silkeagtige tanniner, en høj nydelsesfaktor og et saftigt drikkeflow: Stephane Derenoncourt, ønolog, konsulent på højre og venstre bred, vinmager, en levende legende i Bordeaux: "Tanninerne var modne og af høj kvalitet overalt. Druerne viste fuld teknologisk og fenolisk modenhed. Vinene fra denne årgang er generelt harmoniske og dynamiske." *** Thomas Duclos, førende konsulent og ønolog på højre bred: "Vi opdagede konstant nye ting i 2023-årgangen. Det ville ikke overraske mig, hvis nogle 2023-vine om nogle år viser sig at være bedre end 2022-vinene. Årgang 2023 er meget smigrende: vi har en behagelig blødhed i eftersmagen uden tyngde, elegante teksturer, overraskende silkeagtige..." *** Axel Marchal, førende professor i ønologi ved universitetet i Bordeaux: "På trods af de ekstreme vejrforhold har 2023-årgangen produceret vine med god balance og smukke syrenoter. Vinene er meget behagelige, ikke enormt koncentrerede, men lækre, runde og frugtagtige." *** Michel Rolland, ønolog og vingårdskonsulent og Bordeaux-veteran: "Det aromatiske potentiale var godt, med fremragende aromatisk intensitet og modne frugtsmage. 2023 er en årgang uden overskud og overdådighed. Behagelig, lækker og nem at drikke!

Suckling om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This is so elegant and sophisticated already, with a really electric presence and length that goes on and on. It's medium- to full-bodied with an intensity of tannins. It remains weightless and energetic. The pH is 3.41, making this a vivid and lively wine. Currant, orange and stone. Sea salt, too. The limestone soils created a unique wine here in 2023. A blend of 71% merlot and 29% cabernet franc.

Lisa Perrotti Brown om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

A blend of 71% Merlot and 29% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Canon has a pH of 3.42 and it will age in barriques for 16-18 months, of which 50% are new. It is deep garnet-purple in color and sails out of the glass with bold notions of juicy blueberries, fresh plums, and Bing cherries, giving way to hints of black pepper, fragrant soil, and violets. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with energetic black and blue fruits, framed by super-satiny tannins and compelling tension, finishing long and fragrant. Absolutely ethereal!

Decanter om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Another excellent wine from the team at Canon benefitting from its position on the limestone plateau. Deep florals, violets, black fruits, some purple fruits too with cocoa powder and cool fresh blueberries. Smooth and so refined, this has a comfort in the mouth that few others have - a certain weight that defies the vintage - almost fleshy but more thick juice rather than lean, with a sweet core as well as biting acidity that provides a great contrast. This is a serious wine, it has structure and movement, supple tannins, so fine with a touch of chalk, strawberry, cranberry and red cherry fruit with liquorice spice on the finish. Assured winemaking, ripe fruit, great acidity and body, ending clean and pure with wet stones and graphite touches. Just delicious, a wine that tastes great now and feels like it’ll always be that way. Expansive in the best way. Ageing 16-18 months in 50% new oak as well as foudre. 3.42pH.

Jeff Leve om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Violets, roses, and lilacs kick off the floral display. You also find cherries, plums, black raspberries, cigar box, and spice, with a touch of licorice. There is balance between the vivacity, and sweetness, strong sense of crushed rocks, and stones, depth, and intensity. The finish is racy, in all the best ways, which is the perfect backdrop for the wines layers of salt-tinged fruits that linger. The best part of the wine is that the fruit expresses a beautiful sense of purity, with no hard . edges. The wine blends 71% Merlot with 29% Cabernet Franc. 14% ABV. 3.41. Harvesting took place September 6 - October 4. The length of the harvest is one of the key points to the vintage, as the estate was able to stop, start ,and wait for phenolic ripeness. Drink from 2030- 2060. 96-98 Pts.

Parker om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and raspberries mingled with spices, rose petals, licorice and violets, the 2023 Canon is another brilliant wine from a property whose excellence can almost be taken for granted. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's seamless and concentrated, its vibrant core of fruit framed by sweet, powdery tannins and girdled by lively acids, concluding with a long, mineral finish.

Colin Hay om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

(Saint Émilion; 71% Merlot; 29% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 45 hl/ha; pH 3.42; 14% alcohol; tasted at the UGC press tasting at the Cité du Vin and then at Canon itself). Sublimely Canon! Dark, rich, cool, composed, calming, intimate, almost a little like entering a dark chapel from the summer sunshine and then focusing in on the details of the stained glass. Pixilated – in colour. Strikingly sharp-focused, with the sensation of that coming from the extra detail and definition afforded by the powdery limestone/chalky tannins. Graphite and black berry and, above all, stone fruits, with a lovely gracious Cabernet leafiness. Sumptuous and sinuous, with just the right amount of fruit concentration to allow this to weave its magical path over the palate. Less substantial than recent vintages but a lovely expression of the vintage. Finely seasoned, above all with limestone fleur de sel!

Min vinmager

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.
