2021 Château Canon is one of Saint-Émilion's most iconic Premier Grand Cru Classé wines. With a perfect balance of power, elegance, and limestone minerality, the wine offers complex notes of black cherries, ripe plums, violets, graphite, and fine spices. An exceptional Bordeaux with great precision, silky-smooth tannins, and impressive aging potential.
Château Canon is located on Saint-Émilion’s famous limestone plateau and is one of the most prestigious estates in the region. Since its acquisition by the Chanel family, the château has undergone extensive quality improvements and is today considered among the absolute top names in Bordeaux. The combination of old vines, low yields, and uncompromising vineyard management creates wines with a unique blend of elegance, depth, and terroir.
The 2021 vintage is primarily based on Merlot supplemented by Cabernet Franc. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before being vinified parcel by parcel. The wine is subsequently aged in French oak barrels, a significant proportion of which are new. The result is a wine with impressive precision, freshness, and complexity, already showing great finesse while having a long life ahead of it.
Saint-Émilion is one of the world's most famous wine regions and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area is particularly known for its Merlot-dominated wines, where limestone soils impart a characteristic minerality, elegance, and freshness. Premier Grand Cru Classé is among the highest classifications in Saint-Émilion and is only awarded to estates that meet the most stringent quality requirements.
Nose: Intense and refined with aromas of black cherries, ripe plums, blackcurrants, violets, roses, graphite, cedar, and elegant spices.
Palate: Silky-smooth and concentrated with layers of dark berries, plums, licorice, dark chocolate, and chalky minerality. The ripe tannins and fresh acidity create an impressive balance between power and finesse.
Finish: Very long and elegant with lingering notes of dark fruit, graphite, spices, and a characteristic limestone minerality.
Best served at 16–18 °C. Decant the wine for 1–2 hours before serving to highlight its complex aromas. Serve in a large Bordeaux glass. The wine can be enjoyed young after aeration, but will develop even greater complexity over the next 20–30 years.
