Château Canon 2021 Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé

Château Canon 2021 is a Saint-Émilion Premier Grand Cru Classé from the estate on the limestone plateau, developed under the Chanel family with old vines, low yields and careful work. The 2021 vintage is based mainly on Merlot with Cabernet Franc, hand-harvested and sorted, vinified parcel by parcel and aged in French oak with a significant share of new barrels. It balances power, elegance and limestone minerality, with notes of black cherry, ripe plum, violet, graphite and fine spices. The nose is intense and refined, with black cherry, ripe plum, blackcurrant, violet, rose, graphite, cedar and elegant spices. The palate is silky and concentrated, with dark berries, plum, liquorice, dark chocolate and chalky minerality, supported by ripe tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is very long and elegant, with dark fruit, graphite, spices and characteristic limestone minerality.
