Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2014

95
/100

Sehr klare, präzise Nase mit schwarzer Kirsche, etwas Cassis und Brombeere, dazu feine Himbeer- und Erdbeernoten. Leichter Tabak, Kräuter und bereits hier ein kalkiger, kühler Unterton, der typisch für Canon ist. Am Gaumen mittelgewichtig, mit feinen, geschliffenen Tanninen, sehr guter Säure und einem straffen, sauberen Zug. Die dunkle Frucht bleibt frisch und definiert. Dazu kommt eine salzige Mineralität, die Profil und Länge gibt. Alles wirkt geradlinig, kühl, fokussiert und harmonisch. Das Finale zeigt nochmals Kalk, Salz und rote Frische, elegant und erstaunlich lang. Ein klassischer, klarer Canon mit kühlem, mineralischem Rückgrat und solidem Reifepotenzial.

Parker über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2014 Canon has a very well-defined, precise bouquet with ebullient raspberry and wild strawberry scents infused with minerals. The aromatics here are utterly captivating. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and very well-judged acidity. There is tension and poise to this Saint Emilion, gently fanning out with a delicate spicy finish that lingers long in the mouth. Though surely destined to be over-shadowed by the extraordinary 2015, this Canon deserves a berth in your cellar.

Suckling über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

Intense aromas of minerals, chalk, bright cherries and stones. Full-bodied, tight and silky; very linear. Like a straight shot. Give it three to four years to soften. Vibrant is the word.

Galloni über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

The 2014 Canon has an intense bouquet with blackberry, raspberry, briary and light tobacco scents, gradually gaining more precision with aeration yet remaining classic in style. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, a fine bead of acidity, harmonious and poised with a structured yet precise finish that is pure class. Perhaps you might argue that it lacks some charm at this early stage but at the same time, I am fascinated to see how it will age. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

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

An enjoyably melted tannic structure, with the white pepper and saffran lick of limestone, sappy rise on the finish, with raspberry, redcurrant, crushed roses, generous and creamy through the mid palate (although you might want to head to the 2009 at this point for an even clearer example of that, as Canon takes time to reach its peak). This has poise and delicacy, and excellent balance. 36hl/h yield, 80% new oak, 3.7ph, harvest September 29 to October 9. John Kolasa's last vintage, with current director Nicolas Audebert overseeing ageing.

Wine Spectator über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

A fresh, pure style, with lots of oral and black tea notes out front, followed by a tightly focused beam of red currant, plum and raspberry coulis avors. The nish sports a mouthwatering chalky spine and lovely perfume that should develop more with time. For fans of minerality. Best from 2022 through 2032.

Mein Winzer

Chateau Canon

Die Weinberge von Chateau Canon liegen auf dem Plateau von Saint Emilion mit Ton und tiefem Kalkstein. Die exponierte Süd-/Südwestlage beschert den Trauben eine deutlich höhere Anzahl der Sonnenstunden und eine dadurch resultierende bessere Reife der Trauben.
