Château CANON
1er grand cru classé
- 2018
- Saint-Émilion
Purchased in 1996 by the Chanel group (also in Rauzan-Ségla), Canon required a complete restoration, both of the vines and the cellar/vat room tool. Since 2008, Canon has fully justified its status as a 1er grand cru classé, with brilliant, distinguished wines that draw their energy from the Cabernets francs at the top of the limestone plateau.

The 2016 vintage is rated 99/100 by Jean-Marc Quarin « Grand nez très aromatique, fin, fruité et subtil. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, très aromatique au milieu, complexe, avec un corps aérien, le vin se développe délicat, minutieusement gras, avec des arômes et un profil de pinot noir, plutôt que de cabernet franc et merlot. La joie, le plaisir, l'inénarrable, j'avale ! » (Feb. 2020)
