Château Canon Saint-Émilion Grand Cru 2020

Château Canon 2020: Graceful & Profound Right Bank Grand Cru Classé

“A classy, open, expressive and radiant Canon in 2020. Less plush than I was expecting on the palate, this is linear, focussed and refined with a core of juicy red fruits; raspberries, strawberries and cherries. High acidity gives the lifeforce and sense of joy while still remaining structured and forward. Definitely not as big, or weighty as some in St-Emilion, this is more sophisticated with well integrated, very fine tannins and good use of oak. It’s not trying too hard, elegant and charming as Canon does so well with freshness and a wide, expansive finish. Clarity and intensity. Brilliant.” - Decanter 99

About The Winery

Château Canon 2020 is a benchmark wine from one of the most revered estates on Bordeaux’s Right Bank. A Premier Grand Cru Classé, Canon is situated on the limestone plateau of Saint-Émilion, where its south-facing vineyards benefit from excellent drainage and sun exposure. Under the stewardship of the Chanel group, the estate has risen to even greater acclaim in recent years, crafting wines that balance power with ethereal elegance. The 2020 vintage, marked by a warm and dry season with timely rainfall, produced a wine of remarkable clarity, depth, and poise which is predominantly in Merlot with a generous portion of Cabernet Franc.

On the nose, Château Canon 2020 reveals perfumed aromas of raspberry, red plum, and wild strawberry, supported by notes of rose petal, chalky minerality, crushed herbs, and subtle spice. The palate is medium to full-bodied and exquisitely textured, with layers of fresh red fruit, floral lift, and a fine mineral tension. Silky tannins and a vibrant line of acidity carry through to a long, harmonious finish with an expression of purity and precision that makes this vintage especially compelling.

Ideal pairings include roast quail, veal with morels, mushroom risotto, or soft-ripened cheeses like Brie de Meaux or Saint-Marcellin, these dishes that enhance the wine’s finesse and elegance.
