Château Canon is a Premier Grand Cru Classé ‘B’ classified estate situated in the Saint-Émilion appellation. Owned by luxury fashion house Chanel since 1996, the château has 18 hectares of vineyards planted on limestone-based soils. The 2015 vintage is a blend of 70% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Franc. “Seductive. The nose draws you in deep. It’s like staring into a well of pristine dark cherries, dark plums, blackberries and mulberries. All the oak is perfectly subsumed. The palate’s flawless with immense depth and power and it’s so balanced as to appear to float. Immaculate fresh dark-berry and plum flavors. Silky and deep, ribbon-like finish. Perfect. Best from 2022.” 100 points, James Suckling, February 2018

This was the vintage when the world sat up and took notice of Canon, and at the ten year point you can see why. Umami, flesh, poise, precision, crushed raspberry, black cherry, nectarine, rose petals, violet, saffron, hovering between primary and tertiary, just beautiful, with decades ahead of it. A one point upscore from the last time I tasted in 2021 - just really growing into itself. Nicolas Audebert director, in his first full vintage, 42hl/yield, 70% new oak for ageing, harvest September 14 to October 4.Jane Anson19th February 2025
96 Vinous
The 2015 Canon has a forward and comparatively opulent bouquet with licorice-tinged red fruit, though this is not necessarily the most complex compared to its peers. Hints of menthol develop with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, gentle grip, powdery texture, black pepper and cumin notes. This is a little edgy toward the finish with plenty of brown spice notes. There seems to be a decent percentage of Cabernet Franc here (29%, as it turns out). Tasted blind at the 2015 Bordeaux Ten-Year-On tasting at Farr Vintners. Neal Martin3rd June 2025
96 The Wine Independent
Deep garnet in color, the 2015 Canon needs a bit of coaxing to bring out fragrant notes of kirsch, baked plums, and boysenberry preserves followed by hints of garrigue, star anise, and Sichuan pepper. The full-bodied palate offers great tension and firm chewy tannins to counter the opulent black fruit, finishing with great length.Lisa Perrotti-Brown27th March 2024
