Château Canon 2009 is a Right Bank Bordeaux from the Chanel-owned Premier Grand Cru Classé B property Château Canon in St-Émilion. With its modest 18ha planted with 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Franc, Canon produces a deliciously soft, elegant Merlot-dominant Grand Vin typically with excellent ageing potential. "John Kolasa mentioned that in 2009 he increased the percentage of Cabernet Franc up to 25% and that his intention is to dial it up to 35% in several years. The 2009 was matured in 60% new oak. This is more reticent on the nose, very classic in style but beautifully defined with just the right amount of reserve and austerity. The palate is fresh and very elegant, with disarmingly svelte, silky tannins. Good depth, not powerful but succulent and mineral-rich on the structured finish. Excellent - but it will need several years in bottle and is perhaps more 2010 in style than its peers." Neal Martin, 2012

Vinous
The 2009 Canon has a loose-knit, quite sensual bouquet that does not have the same depth or mineralité as recent vintages like the 2015 and 2016. The warmth of the summer comes through here, a touch of garrigues. The palate is medium-bodied with soft tannin, a little more advanced than say, the Canon-la-Gaffelières with a spicy, black pepper and sage tinged finish. Enjoy this over the next decade, but is it a long term Canon? Tasted at BI Wines & Spirits' annual Ten Year On tasting. Neal Martin1st March 2019
