2023 Chateau Canon Saint- Emilion
From the heights of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau, Château Canon 2023 delivers an intense experience, interweaving floral notes, raspberry, pepper, and mint, all underpinned by a delicate salinity. With roots tracing back to the 18th century privateer Jacques Kanon, this Premier Grand Cru Classé showcases a velvety, silky texture that mirrors its clay-limestone terroir, embodying elegance and history in every sip.
Vinous
The 2023 Canon La Gaffelière is a powerful, dense wine. In recent years Canon La Gaffelière has been on the more perfumed side, but the 2023 moves in a direction of textural intensity. On the other hand, its balance is compelling. Dark red-toned fruit, pomegranate, spice, blood orange, mint and dried herbs open, but only with great reluctance. Tannins are present but also buried by the fruit.
