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 2010 vintage is a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, with a 15% ABV. Expect notes of red berries, dark cherries, liquorice and a sprinkle of vanilla. Presented here in a half bottle format, the wine is drinking well now but will age for much longer.

The 2010 Château Canon is interesting to revisit today, especially considering the vintages that have come after it, some of which will take their place among the greatest ever made here. Somber in breeding, the 2010 shows more darkness and ripeness than the wines of today, with a stronger oak imprint, all of which serve to blur some of the definition that is such a Canon signature. From time to time, some of the finesse of Canon emerges, as do some characteristic Cabernet Franc inflections, yet the 2010 feels a bit imprisoned by the style of the era in which it was made. The bouquet and overall profile suggest that the 2010 has arrived at an early plateau of maturity. I imagine it will develop for many years to come, but I also don’t see meaningful improvement in the cards.Antonio Galloni2nd January 2024
