Chateau Canon, Saint-Emilion, 2012
Château Canon is one of Saint-Émilion’s most refined and quietly powerful estates, perched on the limestone plateau just above the village. The 2012 vintage may not have the flash of surrounding years, but at Canon, it produced a wine of poise and charm—now entering a gorgeous drinking window.
Expect red plum, cherry, and blackberry fruit softened by time, with notes of tobacco leaf, violets, and crushed stone. The tannins have mellowed into a velvety frame, and the wine carries just enough acidity to keep it lifted and fresh. Decant for an hour to open it up, and pair with roast duck, mushroom dishes, or a simply cooked rack of lamb. Classic Right Bank elegance—understated, soulful, and ready.
