Frutto di un assemblaggio composto da 70% di
Merlot e 30% di
Cabernet Franc, l'annata 2012 dello
Château Canon è golosa e untuosa. Malgrado le condizioni climatiche, atipiche in inverno, umide in primavera, secche in estate e burrascose in autunno, questo
Saint-Emilion 2012 è un buon vino, denso e intenso.
Di una bella complessità aromatica, lo
Château Canon 2012 presenta un bouquet molto fruttato in cui fragole e lamponi si mescolano alle spezie. La struttura di quest'annata è soave, morbida, raffinata e femminile.

Wine Advocate-Parker :
Tasted from several bottles in recent months, the 2012 Canon is a stupendous wine for the vintage and if anything, it appears to be improving with each encounter. It clearly serves up more than enough volume and fruit intensity on the nose compared to the impressive 2011 Canon: it is very pure with black cherries, wild strawberry, asphalt and blood orange. This is very well defined and beautifully focused. The palate is medium-bodied, silky smooth and with that thrilling sense of frisson. There is so much vivacity wound up inside this Saint Emilion that it would not surprise me if it turns out to be one of the very best in 2012. Tasted January 2017.
