3x100 Points: Chateau Canon 2015, Great Price On A New Parcel
The 2015 vintage of Chateau Canon was one of the vintage’s hottest tickets and massively over-subscribed on release. With three hundred-point-scores from bottle, this St Emilion remains a seriously desirable St Emilion, so we are delighted to have a well-priced parcel of pristine cases to offer direct from Bordeaux.
This 2015 represented a new high point for the Chateau. Quality surged under the brilliant John Kolasa, and by 2015 Canon was firing on all cylinders, so was perfectly positioned to take advantage of a very good vintage for St Emilion and its sublime terroir.
It was great from barrel and even better from bottle. For Antonio Galloni, this “is simply extraordinary in every way” and “is a rare wine that is both hedonistic and intellectual”. For James Suckling, this is “flawless with immense depth and power and it’s so balanced as to appear to float”. Jeff Leve said “Mark my words, this is a future legendary vintage for Canon!” All three give it 100 points.
Details are below, do take a look and let us know if you would to secure a case or two.

100 points Antonio Galloni
From the very beginning, the 2015 Canon has made an eloquent case for itself as one of the wines of the vintage. Multiple tastings from bottle only confirm what several early tastings hinted at: the 2015 Canon is simply extraordinary in every way. Sumptuous and exotic, with no hard edges and exceptional balance, the 2015 grabs hold of all the senses and never lets up. A rush of red fruit intermingled with floral notes, spice and smoke notes effortlessly runs up the wine’s vertical structure as the 2015 thrills with every twist and turn. The 2015 Canon is a rare wine that is both hedonistic and intellectual – well, maybe it is a bit more hedonistic-leaning. It doesn’t matter. Don’t miss it. This 2015 is masterpiece from General Manager Nicolas Auderbert and his team at Canon. (2017)

100 points James Suckling
Seductive. The nose draws you in deep: It’s like staring into a well of pristine dark cherries, dark plums, blackberries and mulberries. All the oak is perfectly subsumed. The palate’s flawless with immense depth and power and it’s so balanced as to appear to float. Immaculate fresh dark-berry and plum flavors. Silky and deep, ribbon-like finish. Perfect. Best from 2022.

Mark my words, this is a future legendary vintage for Canon! It gets everything right from the moment the wine hits the glass. Aromatically, the wine offers flowers, crushed rock, black and red fruits, spearmint, licorice, and hints of tobacco. On the palate, it is even better with its multiple layers of silk-drenched fruits, cashmere tannins, and seamless, over 60-second finish. This is so good now, and it has only started on its journey. Drink from 2022-2060.
