2016 Château Canon, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

2016 Château Canon, 1er Grand Cru Classé St-Emilion

The 2016 is poised and elegant, after the opulence of the 2015, and is just entering its drinking window. The fruit character is precise and savoury-tinged, with silky tannins and a fresh seam of acidity.

Tasting notes

Lively dark crimson. Very smart and complex on the nose - distinctively different. Really focused and rich but not sweet. Real lift and drive. So complete! Opulent on the nose but nothing remotely simple and sweet. Throbs with excitement.

18.5/20

Very intense aromas already of pure berry, mineral and spice. Full body yet refined and tight with gorgeous linear and refined character. Beautiful and classic beauty.
