With exceptional weather conditions, Château Canon could vinify a great vintage from the most charming of charming years. In this solar vintage, this First Classified Growth of Saint-Émilion has a purple colour. The Canon 2009 is opulent, spicy and generous with fruity aromas. On the palate, this Saint-Émilion top-ranked wine has a beautiful tannic structure with great consistency. A wine with great aromatic richness.
Medium to deep garnet colored, the 2009 Canon is a little reticent to begin, opening out to notions of rare beef, cast iron pan, cigar boxes and cloves with a core of baked plums and mulberries plus a waft of dried lavender. Full, richly fruited and sill quite youthful, the palate has a firm yet velvety texture and seamless freshness supporting the generous fruit, finishing long and mineral laced.
