Château Canon has, for decades, been a household name among the St-Emilion 1er Grand Cru Classé. This vintage was a watershed moment in the transformation of the estate, which now vies for wine of the vintage year after year. To find it top in this extensive blind tasting was proof of its relatively new stature. Blend of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc with malolactic conducted one third in new barrels and two-thirds in stainless steel vats. Gareth Birchley: A beautiful nose. Coconutty oak. Elegant, with lovely concentration, a wonderful texture and fine tannins. This is great, with years to burn. Vincenzo Arnese: Good freshness and richness. Elegant, with good ripeness, well-handled tannins and integrated oak. Stylish. Arthur Coggill: Very forward but has depth. Bright red fruit, some kirsh and rose tea. Supple and generous. Oodles of juicy fruit on the mid-palate. Straightforward, not trying too hard, and delicious because of it. (10/2024)

Vinous

97+ POINTS

The 2015 Canon has a tightly wound bouquet with mineral rich black fruit, raspberry coulis, rose petal and desiccated orange peel. It takes time to come together, but it does. The palate is well defined, very focused with fine minerality. This is discreet but beautifully balanced, clean and precise with a sense of energy and precision on the finish. It is less showy than its peers at the moment, which explains why I am more parsimonious with my score. Yet the potential is locked inside this wine and it will aspire toward perfection with a decade in bottle. Tasted blind at the Southwold 2015 Bordeaux tasting.

100 POINTS

This is the greatest red ever produced here, even better than the great wines of the 1950s and 1960s. Full body yet tight and reserved. Superbly refined tannins. Yet rich and flamboyant. Fruity yet salty and minerally. Electric finish. Stone and chalk undertones. A wonder of a young wine. (2016)

98+ POINTS

One of the wines of the vintage is the 2015 Château Canon which is 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc that spent 18 months in 70% new French oak. It offers a perfect example of the old saying “iron fist in a velvet glove” and boasts gorgeous notes of black cherries, framboise, spring flowers and exotic spices. All these lead to a full-bodied, ultra-pure, seamless 2015 that marries incredible richness and depth with a sense of purity, elegance, and weightlessness that needs to be tasted to believed. This multi-dimensional, seamless 2015 needs forgotten for 4-5 years and will keep for three decades or more. Bravo! (2017)

Wine Spectator

97 POINTS

A plush, inviting style, with warmed fig and plum sauce notes taking the lead, picking up swaths of cocoa, tobacco and roasted alder along the way. Features plenty of pumping bass, but if you pay attention, there's a laser of chalky minerality driving the finish. When the baby flesh drops away, this will sail in the cellar for some time. Best from 2022 through 2045. 7,500 cases made.

Parker – Wine Advocate

96 POINTS

Composed of 72% Merlot and 28% Cabernet Franc and aged for 18 months in 70% new and 30% one-year-old barrels, the 2015 Canon is boldly fruited with blackberry preserves, black cherry compote, fruitcake, mocha and plum preserves with suggestions of Indian spices, licorice and black olives. Full-bodied and packed with ripe, rich dried berries and exotic spice layers, it has a firm, slightly chewy structure and just enough freshness (the pH is 3.78), finishing long and savory. Give it another 2-3 years of cellaring to soften its edges and allow its flavor spectrum to fully emerge, and drink it over the next 20 to 25+ years.
