Top Bordeaux 2025 En Primeur: Château Canon

This wine comes in a wooden case. Drink from 2037 to 2065. 14%

The perfect example of how the water-holding capacity of the Saint-Émilion limestone plateau helped create some of the most staggeringly beautiful wines of the vintage. While some wines from the appellation feel a little restrained, Canon has been completely unshackled, producing a wine of remarkable generosity that never loses its balance. At 14% alcohol, it sits above many of its peers, bringing additional weight and richness to the mid-palate. Beautifully pure redcurrant and raspberry fruit is complemented by a distinct saline edge. Plentiful yet exquisitely managed tannins hover across the palate, while the fruit pulses with energy and precision. Due to the weight of fruit and density of tannins this is likely to close down for a few years, so patience will be required to see it at its very best. This wine comes in a wooden case.
