2018 Château Canon

Sale price $180.00 | In Stock Ships from our French cellar (Delivery in 4-10 days) | Drink or Cellar

The 2018 Château Canon is a stunning Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé that balances richness with precision. Grown on the estate’s iconic limestone plateau, the Merlot and Cabernet Franc vines benefited from excellent drainage, preserving freshness in this warm vintage. Aromas of black cherry, plum, and crushed flowers lead to a velvety palate of ripe red fruit, graphite, and subtle spice, with a long, mineral-driven finish that showcases the vineyard’s exceptional terroir.

A beautiful Canon that performs the 360-degree trick in your mouth of expanding up, down and out. Of course a little austere right now at this young age, but already walking the tightrope towards richness; the creaminess in the texture becomes clear after 20 minutes in the glass. This has salinity, purity, precision and grip, showing its distinct personality and its ability to draw juice and mouthwatering expression from the fruits.

The Grand Vin is the 2018 Château Canon, which is based on 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc brought up in 52% new French oak. Its incredible bouquet delivers richness paired with amazing freshness and precision, offering loads of crème de cassis and darker berry fruits intermixed with classic Saint-Emilion chalky minerality, graphite, scorched earth, and spring flowers. Gorgeous on the palate as well, with medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, flawless balance, and again, this wonderful sense of freshness paired with ample richness, it needs 4-5 years of bottle age and will evolve for 30+ years. The 2009 and 2015 are still my favorite vintages of this wine, but this is up there with the best of them.

Blackberries and tar with wet-earth and dark-bark aromas. Dark-chocolate and brownie notes, too. It’s full-bodied with creamy tannins and a round, caressing finish. Lovely focus and intensity, though dense and layered. Extremely creamy and polished. Really precise and bespoke. It already opens beautifully on the palate. Drink after 2025.
