The 2021 Château Canon Premier Grand Cru Classé is an exceptional Saint-Émilion from one of Bordeaux's most prestigious estates, situated on the renowned limestone plateau overlooking the historic village. The outstanding 2021 vintage highlights the château's signature elegance and precision, with a blend led by Merlot and complemented by Cabernet Franc. The nose is beautifully layered with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, alongside violet, graphite, cedar and subtle baking spice.
On the palate, it is full-bodied yet remarkably refined, with vibrant acidity and silky, finely structured tannins. Flavours of ripe dark berries, cocoa, liquorice and crushed stone unfold across a long, mineral-driven finish, reflecting the freshness and purity of Canon's limestone terroir. Careful French oak maturation adds depth and complexity while preserving the wine's balance and finesse.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an outstanding choice for collectors and lovers of world-class Right Bank Bordeaux. Pair with beef fillet, roast lamb, duck breast, venison or aged hard cheeses. While already impressive with decanting, it will continue to develop beautifully over the next 20–30 years.
