WINEMAKER NOTES
2016 Chateau Canon – Limestone Precision from Saint Emilion
The 2016 Chateau Canon marks a defining moment in the modern era of this historic Saint Emilion estate. Perched on the limestone plateau, Canon delivers a wine shaped by tension, clarity, and balance, reflecting both the strength of the vintage and the estate’s renewed focus on terroir expression.
Tasting Notes
The wine opens with aromas of black cherry, raspberry, graphite, and subtle floral notes. On the palate, it is poised and layered, with fine-grained tannins supporting pure red and dark fruit. A pronounced mineral core runs through the mid-palate, leading to a long, focused finish that highlights freshness and restraint rather than sheer power.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The blend is dominated by Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Franc sourced from clay-limestone soils atop the Saint Emilion plateau. Fermentation is carried out with precision to preserve aromatic clarity, followed by aging in French oak barrels. The 2016 growing season, widely regarded as exceptional, allowed for slow, even ripening and outstanding phenolic maturity.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2016 vintage is considered one of Chateau Canon’s benchmark modern releases. Its critical acclaim, refined structure, and ability to age gracefully have positioned it as a strong candidate for collectors seeking top-tier Right Bank Bordeaux with long-term potential.
Vintage Insights & Accolades
After a cool start, the 2016 Bordeaux season finished with ideal late-summer conditions, producing wines of balance and precision. At Canon, these conditions translated into a Saint Emilion of exceptional clarity and definition.
