Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B 2016

98–100
/100

Lobenberg: Dieser Premier Grand Cru Classé ist im gleichen Besitz wie Chateau Rauzan-Segla und auf dem Weg ein rarer Kultwein zu werden. Wirklich schwer zu bekommen. Canon liegt direkt auf der Kalksteinkante. Ist ein Nachbar im Verlauf der Weingüter Ausone und Beausejour Duffau. Also allerbestes Terroir. Und wie schon 2015, ist die Nase auch in 2016 unglaublich fein. Würzige, schwarze Kirsche, nur ein Hauch von Cassis und anderen dunklen Beerenfrüchten. Rote Kirsche und etwas Sauerkirsche darunter. Fast etwas süßlicher Duft wie Lavendel, Vergissmeinnicht und auch Veilchen. Die Nase macht Freude. Der Mund ist dann noch stimmiger, denn er ist hochkomplex. Und er bekommt ein Sammelsurium an roten Früchten dazu. Neben Sauerkirsche, viel roter Kirsche auch Sanddorn, Schlehe, zerdrückte Himbeere, ein ganz leichter Hauch von süßer, zermahlener Kirsche, vielleicht mit einem Hauch Erdbeerwürze darin. Eine tolle Erdbeermarmelade darunter. Aber der Wein ist insgesamt nicht zu süß, nicht zu marmeladig, hat aber unheimlich charmante Fruchtsüße. Er ist köstlich, man mag ihn sofort trinken. Das Tannin ist total poliert und in Massen vorhanden. Sehr feiner, langer Wein. Ich werde ihn kaum bekommen und anbieten können, denn er ist wirklich rar. Aber er gehört definitiv wieder zu den besten Weinen aus Saint Emilion in diesem Jahr. 98-100/100

Quarin über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Quarin: Depuis l'excellent 2012, ce cru nous rappelle un peu plus chaque année son caractère à part à Saint-Emilion. Lui aussi possède un trésor : le parfum. Stéphane Bonnasse, son vinificateur, le sait et ne veut pas perdre cet atout que d'autres ne possèdent pas. Je le redis, à l'aveugle, Canon se confond avec les grands Bourgognes rouges de la Côte de nuit. Il suffit de faire l'essai plusieurs fois confirmé. Oui, un très grand vin nous offre des perceptions qui vont bien au-delà de son origine, jusqu'à nous perdre dans sa reconnaissance. Dans ce renouveau, il manquait à Canon un peu de chair pour atteindre les sommets de la grâce. Et en 2016, Boum ! Le cru nous dévoile le meilleur de lui-même, un éclat fruité fantastique, un toucher au grain aérien, un charme fou et en finale une puissance millimétrée ; le tout avec des indices de tannins façon Haut-Brion, inférieurs à 70. Une gageure rive droite dans un océan de vins qui ne jurent que par des corps musculeux. Canon a toujours maintenu un autre cap, une autre vision, simplement accès sur son trésor, le goût plutôt que la matière. Depuis peu, grâce au vieillissement des vignes bien plantées par le précédent responsable John Kolasa, grâce à une part plus élevée de cabernet franc dans l'assemblage, le cru bascule définitivement dans le monde rare de la puissance et du raffinement confondus. Et je pense qu'il ne quittera plus cette position pendant longtemps. Croyez moi, Canon possède le souffle d'un premier grand cru classé A. Bravo ! 2016 est meilleur que le 2015. Couleur intense, belle et profonde. Nez intense, particulièrement fruité, pur, noble, légèrement fumé, crémeux, puissant et profond. Bouche si grasse, si complexe, si parfumée, si noble au toucher, si profonde en finale, si persistante, si incrachable. Forte note plaisir. Fabuleux ! 100/100

Parker über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Parker: 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 über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Wine Enthusiast: 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 über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Decanter: 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 über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

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

-- Suckling: 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 über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- International Wine Report: 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

Falstaff über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Falstaff: Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, eher rotbeerig, saftige Kirschenfrucht, etwas Heidelbeere, ein Hauch von Nougat, kräuterwürziger Touch. Saftig, angenehme Extraktsüße, reife Herzkirschen, feine, tragende Tannine, sehr gute Länge, baut sich gegen Ende auf, elegant und anhaltend. 97/100

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

-- Neal Martin: 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 über: Chateau Canon 1er Grand Cru Classe B

-- Wine Cellar Insider: 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

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.
