2018 Canon (St-Emilion)
Secondary Description
72% Merlot/28% Cabernet Franc. Consultant Thomas Duclos. Yield 42hl/ha. 18 months elevage in 52% new oak barrels. Dark and closed, elegant and silky, savoury and floral as one coaxes it slowly open. Cherries and marzipan. Different every time one comes back to it. A great wine, albeit one that will take some time to come round. (NT 18/04/19)

The 2018 Canon is every bit as magnificent from bottle as it was from barrel. Maybe more so. Vertical and explosive in the glass, Canon sizzles with tension and vibrancy. Readers will find a majestic, soaring Grand Cru Classe that captures all the magic of Saint-Emilion`s limestone plateau. Canon exudes mind-blowing precision and deliciousness. It is another magnificent effort from Technical Director Nicolas Audebert and his team. 98 points
