Château Canon 2021, St-Emilion

Le Château Canon is inexorably associated with the finesse and elegance of Saint-Emilions finest wines. The origin of its name is due to Jacques Kanon, a privateer in the Royal Navy who acquired it in 1760. Crackling with flashes of vibrant red, Château Canon 2021 is an electrifying experience. Raspberry and strawberry hues leap from the glass, locked in a heady embrace. Then the colour dims to a deep cherry-red, tinged with a bittersweet < darkness. The body is firm, toned, dense but never overpowering. The mid-palate is a study in controlled tension and formal precision, enlivened by a radiant splash of orange blossom and a hint of sweetness more almond than honey. 71% Merlot + 29% Cabernet Franc 96 Points - Wine Enthusiast
