Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2016

98–100
/100

Denne Premier Grand Cru Classé er i samme ejerskab som Chateau Rauzan-Segla og er på vej til at blive en sjælden kultvin. Den er virkelig svær at få fat i. Canon ligger direkte på kalkstenskanten. Den er nabo til vinmarkerne Ausone og Beausejour Duffau. Så det allerbedste terroir. Og som i 2015 er næsen i 2016 også utrolig fin. Krydret, sort kirsebær, bare et strejf af cassis og andre mørke bær. Røde kirsebær og lidt surkirsebær nedenunder. En næsten sødlig duft af lavendel, forglemmigej og violer. Næsen er en fornøjelse. Smagen er endnu mere harmonisk, da den er meget kompleks. Og den kommer med et tagselvbord af røde frugter. Ud over surkirsebær, masser af røde kirsebær, havtorn, slåen, knuste hindbær, en meget let antydning af søde, knuste kirsebær, måske med et strejf af jordbærkrydderi i sig. En god jordbærmarmelade nedenunder. Men overordnet set er vinen ikke for sød, ikke for syltetøjsagtig, men har en utrolig charmerende frugtsødme. Den er lækker, og man får lyst til at drikke den med det samme. Tanninen er totalt poleret og til stede i overflod. En meget fin og lang vin. Jeg vil næppe kunne få og tilbyde den, for den er virkelig sjælden. Men det er helt sikkert en af de bedste vine fra Saint Emilion i år. 98-100/100

Parker om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new French barriques, the 2016 Canon is medium to deep garnet-purple in color, and—WOW—it opens with the most stunning perfume of violets, red roses and kirsch, giving way to a core of black cherry preserves, chocolate box, licorice, warm plums and Chinese five spice plus an earthy waft of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely filled with expressive, perfumed black berry layers accented by lively red fruits and exotic spices, supported by impressively fine-grained tannins and fantastic tension, finishing very long with jaw-dropping energy. Tasted three times, I had one opportunity to taste the 2015 and 2016 Canon side by side. While I love the bold, rich, seductive nature of the 2015, this 2016 kicks it up a notch in terms of polish, precision, depth and persistence. Most notably, the superbly ripe, exquisitely fine-grained tannins on this 2016 bring to the table a whole other level of sophistication. Bravo! 98+/100

Wine Enthusiast om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This wine is impressive both from its structure and its fruit, one of the stars of the vintage in Saint-Émilion. It has great weight, concentration as well as style and aging potential. The ripe fruit shines through the structure, promising an elegant maturity. Drink from 2025. 98/100

Decanter om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

This vintage delivers a beautiful, classic style of Canon that is right at the top of what St-Émilion can offer. Compact and dense without being hard, it is finely structured both in terms of the texture of the cassis and blackberry fruits and in the shape of the tannins. It demonstrates a clear minerality and a feather-brushing of violet notes. This is less obviously sexy than 2015, but is a wine that offers a masterclass in what limestone terroir can convey - salinity, succulence, hints of austerity and reserves of power. I retasted it a few times, and the main take away of what to expect is layers of flavour and huge persistency. The details of how they worked the vintage are an added bonus to understanding how they achieved this result. When it started getting hot and dry, they left all green cover on the vines, and did no green harvesting except tidying up in September. The result was loading the vines to avoid over-concentration. 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, with the final blend aged in 70% new oak. 3.6pH. 98/100

Jane Anson om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The best for me since the 2010, just the perfect balance of ripeness, power, precision and finesse. This is more powerful on paper than the 2015 in terms of quantity of tannins but you feel them less because there are so many layers of flavour. Maple syrup, cocoa bean, cassis, black cherries, blueberries, violet and sage, with a saline kick on the finish. A wonderful example of what limestone can deliver. The texture is not silk, instead it has grip and grain, it holds you back and demands you stay around. Harvest September 22 to October 11. 45hl/hyield, 3.57ph, 65% new oak, harvest Setember 22 to October 11. 98/100

Suckling om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Complex aromas of blackberries, iodine, oyster shell and wet earth. Ever so perfumed. Full-bodied, yet reserved and tight with very silky tannins that are energized and minerally. Takes off at the end. The freshness lifts it. Try after 2024. 97/100

International Wine Report om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2016 Château Canon is composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc from the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. This absolutely brilliant wine begins with striking aromas of red currants, cassis and dark cherries which are laced with exotic spices, licorice, violets and lovely underlying minerality. On the palate this boasts a medium-plus body with excellent depth, concentration and precision. It further impresses with its wonderful elegance and finesse leading up to the long lasting finish. Overall, this is an absolutely stunning wine which will have a sensational future ahead, but it will clearly need some time before it will begin to show its full potential. 97/100

Neal Martin om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2016 Canon has the unenviable task of following the astonishing 2015, and it does a damn good job, even if it doesn’t reach the same ethereal heights. There is a pleasing strictness and poise on the nose; this is less immediate than the 2015, yet intellectual, a Canon that expresses its terroir rather than tons of fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, a smooth texture and a slightly savory but persistent finish, which feels a little plusher than the 2015, implying that this might drink a little earlier. But there is unquestionably immense breeding locked into this rejuvenated Saint-Émilion, which is now firmly ensconced among the top-flight Right Banks. 97/100

Wine Cellar Insider om: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Tightening up at the moment, but with decanting and coaxing you can find the strong floral bouquet, with additional nuances of red plums, black cherries, licorice, smoke, espresso, and spice. The wine is full, deep, polished, fresh, lively, and refined, with a finish of pure elegance. However, it is resting at the moment, so it is best to wait a few years before pulling a cork. Drink from 2025-2055. 97/100

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.
