Chateau Canon - 1er Grand Cru Classe Saint-Emilion 2009 75cl
Winery: Chateau Canon
Grape Variety: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc
Region: Saint Emilion, Right Bank, Bordeaux
Alcohol Content: 14%
Classification: Premier Grand Cru Classé B
Food Pairing: Try it with sautéed red mullet with mushrooms, olives and red wine sauce.
Description: Tasted at Bordeaux Index's annual 10-Year On tasting in London. The 2006 Chateau Canon has a vivid, kirsch and wild strawberry bouquet with touches of orange zest and marmalade, a touch of mushroom in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, sage and melted tar.
There is wonderful structure here, superb salinity, completely fulfilling the promise it demonstrated out of bottle. Perhaps yes, I was a little over-enthusiastic at that time, but after ten years it has foraged wonderful focus and vivacity.
