Château Canon 2018 is a prestigious red wine from Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, France, from a château classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé B. The 2018 vintage is composed of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, has 14% alcohol, and a pH of 3.69, resulting in a wine with concentration, freshness, and classic Right Bank balance.

In the glass, the wine appears intense and refined with a complex aromatic profile. The château's own vintage sheet highlights notes of cherry, marzipan, mint, cedar, and rose, while other tasting descriptions point to nuances of candied violets, preserved plums, black cherry compote, Ceylon tea, cinnamon, and chocolate.

The taste is full-bodied and silky with a broad mouthfeel, refined tannins, and beautiful freshness. Château Canon itself describes the 2018 as both powerful and elegant, while external sources highlight the wine's juicy black fruit, well-integrated acidity, and long, perfumed finish.

The wine was aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, and retailer and critic sites indicate about 52% new oak for the vintage. This supports the wine's balance between fruit, structure, and subtle oak influence, making it a classic and age-worthy Bordeaux.

This exclusive Saint-Émilion red wine pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, duck, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. Château Canon 2018 is an excellent choice for those seeking a great Bordeaux with finesse, depth, and impressive aging potential. The bottle is supplied in 75 cl.

98 /100

When I was tasting Bollinger's brilliant Grande Année in this vintage, I was trying to imagine how good the 2008 Extra-Brut RD would be, as the style of the vintage seems almost perfectly adapted to this cuvée. Four years later, we have the answer, and the wine is brilliant. Disgorged in 2022, it's more reserved out of the gates than the dramatic Grande Année was on release, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp orchard fruit, orange peel, freshly baked bread, subtle hints of fino sherry, wet stones and macadamia nut. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, with a deep core of fruit that's animated by racy acids and a refined pinpoint mousse, concluding with a bone-dry finish. Extremely harmonious and full of youthful energy, it's the finest RD of the decade and one that will richly reward a bit of additional age on cork. In style, the most obvious comparison is with the 1996, but the 2008 is more integrated and harmonious on release. These bottles were disgorged late last year with three grams per liter dosage.

So many dried-apple, grapefruit and buttery-croissant aromas follow through to a full body with density and richness, showing baking spices and pie crust. Turns fresh and vivid at the end with incredible acidity that contrasts the ripe fruit and electrifies your palate. 71% pinot noir and 29% chardonnay. Disgorged October 2024. Drink now.

About the grape

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir – verdens fineste mousserende vine

Chardonnay - Pinot Noir blandes almindeligvis for at producere mousserende vine over hele verden. De bedste cuvées fremstilles typisk efter den traditionelle méthode champenoise og kan produceres som vintage (årgangsvin) eller non-vintage (ikkevintage).

Hvad bidrager hver drue med?

Chardonnay: Leverer tekstur, nøddeagtige aromaer og brioche-noter – finesse og elegance
Pinot Noir: Tilfører en mylder af aromaer og rødfrugtsnoter – struktur og dybde
Proportionerne af Chardonnay og Pinot Noir varierer efter producentens præferencer og årgangsbetingelser, men lige store mængder af de to druer er ikke ualmindeligt.

Stilspektrum

Vine lavet i denne stil kan være sprøde og friske i nogle eksemplarer, stålsatte og mineraldrevne i andre, eller have karakteristika af brød, toast og smør. De bedste vine har elementer fra alle disse kategorier og er rige, integrerede og kælderegnede.

Sødmen varierer betydeligt afhængigt af producentens ønskede stil:

Brut: Tørre vine
Sec: Halvtørre vine
Doux: Søde vine
Mousserende rosé

Mousserende rosé er en anden almindelig fortolkning af blendingen. Den fremstilles ved at tilsætte en lille mængde rød Pinot Noir-vin til cuvéen, eller lejlighedsvis ved at tillade en forlænget periode med skalkontakt før juicen presses. Som følge heraf har mousserende rosé mere rødfrugtkarakteristika end sin hvide pendant og en farve der spænder fra lys laksefarvet til brilliant rubin.

Serving

Sådan serverer du Chardonnay - Pinot Noir

Temperatur: Kølig servering
