The 2016 Château Canon is composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc from the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau. This absolutely brilliant wine begins with striking aromas of red currants, cassis and dark cherries which are laced with exotic spices, licorice, violets and lovely underlying minerality. On the palate this boasts a medium-plus body with excellent depth, concentration and precision. It further impresses with its wonderful elegance and finesse leading up to the long lasting finish. Overall, this is an absolutely stunning wine which will have a sensational future ahead, but it will clearly need some time before it will begin to show its full potential.
