The Château Canon is a french estate located in Saint Emilion in Gironde. It is a First classified growth B.
The Château Canon was one of the first castles of Bordeaux, where the vines was a main square. Neighbor Ausone or The Canon Gaffeliere, wine, yet the first vintage, never reached the level that could be expected of him. The acquisition of Chateau Canon 1996 by the Chanel nevertheless gave new life to this wine. Indeed, major investments, particularly in the cellar have improved the quality of wine. Château Canon is known for its careful selection of grains in three stages and no doubt the work begun by the field will increasingly fruitful. Taste therefore preferably recent years to take the full measure of the uniqueness of Château Canon.

(01-2004) Dark red color. Medium to good intensity. Slight evolution. Beautiful fruity and complex nose, but not far from the greenery. The structure is round and even almost voluminous, but the taste is lacking. The tanicity is firm, still present but without exaggeration, and this wine has a curiously woody finish. The effect of time on taste has played its part, but there is no complexity.
(09-2007)
(01-1998) The 1983 Canon has reached full maturity. The wine's dark garnetruby color reveals some rustamber at the edge. The nose is forthcoming, with scents of leather, earth, spice, sweet plums and fruitcake. In the mouth, the wine possesses good richness, heady, alcoholic clout, low acidity, and rustic tannin in the finish.
(06-1996) A lovely, soft, polished, mature appearance; very sweet, somewhat rustic, chocolatey, fully evolved nose; lovely ripe tannins and crisp acidity, light style but good length.
