Chateau Canon 2017 Saint Emilion
James Suckling bewertet den Chateau Canon 2017 Saint Emilion im Dezember 2019:Extremely perfumed with blackcurrants. flowers. gunmetal. gunpowder and blackberries. Full-bodied. tight and reserved. The tannins are so tightly knit and just run through the center. Needs at least three or four years to open. A blend of 77% merlot and 23% cabernet franc. Better after 2023.
Antonio Galloni im März 2020: Nicolas Audebert and his team have done it again. The 2017 Canon is shaping up to be one of the wines of the vintage. Rich and vertical in construction. the 2017 possesses off-the-charts richness and intensity in all of its dimensions. In the glass. the 2017 is sumptuous and layered. with superb detail and tons of sheer pedigree. In 20 years. readers will have a fabulous time tasting the 2015. 2016. 2017 and 2018 together and debating their respective merits. Dark plum fruit. striking Franc aromatics and the clean. focused energy of Saint-Émilion's limestone plateau make for a ravishing. exquisite wine of the highest level. In a word: breathtaking.
Lisa Perrotti Brown im März 2020: Deep garnet-purple in color. the 2017 Canon bursts from the glass with expressive notions of baked black cherries. kirsch. plum preserves and black raspberries plus hints of red roses. Ceylon tea. black olives and fertile loam. Medium-bodied. the palate is wonderfully elegant and refined. with a soft. finely grained texture and seamless freshness. finishing long and mineral laced. The blend is 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc and it was aged for 18 months in French oak. 50% new.
Showing spectacularly, the 2017 Chateau Canon checks in as a final blend of 77% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Franc that’s from one of the most exceptional terroirs in the appellation. Hitting 14% alcohol (the pH is 3.66), it reveals a ruby/purple hue as well as gorgeously sweet raspberries and cassis-like fruit interwoven with notes of spring flowers, rose petal, white chocolate, and spice. While it doesn’t have the massive opulence of the 2015 and 2016, it’s more classically styled as well flawlessly balanced, with a terrific sense of minerality, ultra-fine tannins, and a brilliant finish. Give bottles 5-7 years in the cellar, and it will evolve gracefully for 30-40 years. Hats off to Nicolas Audebert as well as the team of Thomas Duclos for one of the wines of the vintage!
Lisa Perotti Brown bewertet das Fassmuster am 27.04.2018 in der Ausgabe 236 des Wine Advocate wie folgt: The deep purple-black colored 2017 Canon offers-up intense notes of crushed blackberries. black cherries and warm cassis with touches of fertile loam. yeast extract. beef drippings and iron ore plus a waft of garrigue. Medium to full-bodied with great freshness and firm. rounded tannins. it's very earthy in the mouth. finishing long and mineral-laced. A very serious wine. it is also fun. bright and vivacious and should age impressively.
James Suckling bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:This is very focused and fresh with limestone and crushed-stone character. Medium to full body. integrated tannins and a salty finish. Shows lots of minerality already. Umami licorice undertones.
Das Team von Vinous bewertet das Fassmuster in 2018 wie folgt:A rich. explosive wine. the 2017 Canon exudes class from the very first taste. Huge aromatics resonate through to the palate. where the wine is deep. fleshy and beautifully layered. Effortless and gracious. Canon is a wine of real pedigree. I don't think the 2017 will reach the dizzying heights of the 2015 or 2016. but it will be interesting to see how close it gets. -Antonio Galloni-
Auch für den Jahrgang 2017 werden wir für Sie im April ins Bordeaux reisen.Nach den Verkostungen der Fassproben geben wir Ihnen dann gerne unsere Einschätzung bekannt.
Mittlerer Körper. sehr eleganter Stil nach den zwei Überjahren. Hier spielt viel auf der rotbeerigen Seite. Das Tannin ist doch fein und poliert von guter Qualität. Ein harmonischer Auftritt. 93-94+
