Château Canon 2016 is a prestigious red wine from Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, France, from a château classified as Premier Grand Cru Classé B. The 2016 vintage is composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, and the wine is aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, approximately 70% of which are new.

In the glass, the wine appears intense and refined with a complex aromatic profile. Descriptions of the vintage highlight notes of violets, red roses, cherries, black cherries, plum, liquorice, chocolate, and warm spices, supported by an elegant, chalky freshness. The taste is full-bodied and silky with fine-grained tannins, beautiful vibrancy, and a long, persistent aftertaste, making 2016 one of the most sought-after editions of Château Canon.

Vinification occurs parcel by parcel in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks with gravity filling, and according to the château's technical sheet, a portion of the wine undergoes malolactic fermentation in new barrels, while the rest takes place in stainless steel tanks. This contributes to the wine's precise balance between fruit, structure, and oak.

This exclusive Saint-Émilion red wine pairs particularly well with beef, lamb, game, duck, braised dishes, and mature cheeses. Château Canon 2016 is an obvious choice for those seeking a great Bordeaux with both finesse, depth, and excellent aging potential. The bottle comes in 75 cl.

98 /100

Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new French barriques, the 2016 Canon is medium to deep garnet-purple in color, and—WOW—it opens with the most stunning perfume of violets, red roses and kirsch, giving way to a core of black cherry preserves, chocolate box, licorice, warm plums and Chinese five spice plus an earthy waft of underbrush. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is completely filled with expressive, perfumed black berry layers accented by lively red fruits and exotic spices, supported by impressively fine-grained tannins and fantastic tension, finishing very long with jaw-dropping energy. Tasted three times, I had one opportunity to taste the 2015 and 2016 Canon side by side. While I love the bold, rich, seductive nature of the 2015, this 2016 kicks it up a notch in terms of polish, precision, depth and persistence. Most notably, the superbly ripe, exquisitely fine-grained tannins on this 2016 bring to the table a whole other level of sophistication. Bravo! - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

This wine is impressive both from its structure and its fruit, one of the stars of the vintage in Saint-Émilion. It has great weight, concentration as well as style and aging potential. The ripe fruit shines through the structure, promising an elegant maturity. Drink from 2025. Roger Voss

Love the rose petals, iris flowers and pumice stone tannins, combining to give texture and aromatic richness through the palate. Steel, grip and oyster shell salinity speak of the limestone soils in purity and fragrance, more than many of its neighbours, giving an austerity but also vivid character and long life ahead. Great stuff. A full 1% less alcohol than 2015, but no less concentration and power. 45hl/ha yield, 3.57ph, 65% new oak for ageing.

97 /100

Dark ruby, purple reflections, subtle brightening on the rim. Red berry fruit on the nose, juicy cherry, blueberry, a touch of nougat and a herbal savoury touch. Juicy, pleasant extract sweetness, ripe cherry, fine, supporting tannins, very good length and builds up towards the end. Elegant and persistent.

About the grape

Rød Bordeaux Blend

Rød Bordeaux Blend er en kombination af de druesorter, der traditionelt bruges til Bordeaux' berømte rødvine. Det er ikke en officiel betegnelse, men en praktisk måde at tale om en vinsstil, der nu dyrkes over hele verden – fra Californien til Australien, Sydafrika til Chile.

Essensen er fleksibilitet: typisk en blend af Cabernet Sauvignon og Merlot, ofte suppleret med Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot og Malbec. Hver drue tilfører noget unikt – struktur, frugt, krydderier eller blødhed.

Rød Bordeaux Blend er for dig, der søger kraftfuld struktur og dybe smagsnuancer. Det er vine med personlighed – nogle kan nydes straks, andre udvikler sig smukt gennem årene. Her får du en vinsstil med historisk fundament, der stadig inspirerer vinmagere verden over.

Serving

Rød Bordeaux Blend serveres bedst ved 16-18°C, hvor vinens frugt, struktur og kompleksitet står skarpest. Serveres den for varm, kan alkoholen virke mere dominerende, mens for lav temperatur dæmper aromaerne. Bordeaux anbefaler selv 16-18°C til strukturerede og lagringsværdige rødvine.
