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.

97 /100

A blend of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc, the 2018 Canon has a pH of 3.69 and 14% alcohol. Deep garnet-purple in color, it tumbles effortlessly out of the glass with a gorgeous perfume of candied violets, preserved plums, black cherry compote and Ceylon tea with hints of kirsch, powdered cinnamon, chocolate box and fertile loam. The medium to full-bodied palate is packed with juicy black fruit layers, supported by plush, oh-so-soft tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and fragrant. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate

The fruit here is still crunchy and vibrant at three years old, blueberry, black cherry, smoked almonds and saffron. Clear density from beginning to end of the palate, with a rich full texture. Tannins are poised and confident, softening and adding to a creamy texture after 10 minutes in the glass. Bound to keep powering on for decades, needs another three or four years before starting to approach. 42hl/h, 52% new oak, 3.69ph, harvest September 7 to October 5. Thomas Duclos consults.

Dark ruby with purple reflections, brightening at the rim. Sweet cherry fruit aromas with a whisper of strawberry, notes of soft fig and liquorice, and lovely floral appeal. The mineral, saline palate displays great red berry fruit and liquorice. It is juicy, fruity, and ripe, with savoury, ripe tannins. The long finish echoes with cherry and nougat. Great ageing potential.

This estate owned by the Chanel luxury group continues its winning streak with this latest release. Dark and firm at this stage but with obviously powerful, rich black fruits, the wine is destined for a long aging. Tannins and structure pour through dense blackberry and damson flavors, leaving room for a succulent aftertaste. Drink from 2026. Roger Voss

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.
