Château Canon 2021

Wineadvocate

The 2021 Canon opens in the glass with a pure bouquet of raspberries, cherries and plums mingled with pretty top notes of iris, licorice, mint and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's fleshy and sensual, with a deep and seamless core of fruit framed by ultra-refined tannins, a bright spine of acidity and a long, mineral finish. With an impressively low finished pH of 3.37, it was taken out of barrel a month earlier than usual and saw no fining—as has been the case since 2010. - WK 02/2024

Vinous

The 2021 Canon shows just how magical this site is. Vertical and explosive in feel, with tons of pure power, it impresses with its intensity, drive and super-classic profile. Bright saline notes and vibrant tannins give the 2021 a feeling of energy that only gains momentum with time in the glass. It's not an easy Canon, like the 2015 or 2018, but it is incredibly expressive. It is the sort of wine that only truly emerges with time in bottle. I would be thrilled to own it. Canon must surely be one of the great relative values in firstclass wine. Wow. Tasted two times. - AG 12/2023

Beck

Canon 2021 se positionne avec sérénité et précision. Il active de nombreux récepteurs étroitement liés à la subtilité. Le vin brille de son harmonie, de cette force tranquille à la fois imposante et invitante. La puissance est également présente, mais elle agit en coulisse, communément avec la structure acide. Un Canon que l'on pourra certainement approcher dans sa jeunesse, mais ses ressources en matière d'aptitude à la garde sont intactes. 2025-2050 - YB 02/2024

Suckling

A wine full of finesse and class with fantastic length and polish. Medium to full body with ultra-fine tannins that run endlessly down the length of the wine. Blackberry, graphite and spice. Agile and weightless. - 05/2022
