2009 is a historic year for the Bordeaux vineyard, synonymous with a great harvest. The climatic conditions were characterized by a lot of sunshine from the flowering of the vine until the harvest, with very little rainfall. August was very dry without excessive heat and September was very beautiful. All these conditions gave a grape of an exceptional quality.

Blend of the 2009 vintage : 75% Merlot, 25% Cabernet franc

The robe is an intense dark red color, tinged with ruby red highlights.

The nose harmoniously blends freshness, finesse and notes of red fruits such as cherry and strawberry, blackcurrant buds and roasting.

The mouth, very well balanced, shows an exquisite silkiness, evolving all in roundness and rising crescendo in power thanks to fine tannins. Particularly tasty, with tones of flowers and blackberry, it blooms on a long and precise finish.

Food and wine pairing :

Château Canon 2009 will be perfect with a roast rack of lamb. It will also go very well with a rabbit with mustard, a jugged hare with morels or a venison jig.

Reserve it for soft cheeses with a bloomy rind such as brillat-savarin, camembert or coulommiers.

A dessert such as an opera cake or a famous dark chocolate mi-cuit will do it justice.

Ageing potential and tasting :

Château Canon 2009 in double magnum can still wait more than 20 years before being tasted, its peak being between 2045 and 2050 due to the large capacity of the bottle. However, it can be enjoyed now, by placing the bottle in the room the day before to acclimatize to room temperature and opening it. If this is not possible, open it ideally 6 to 7 hours before tasting.

To follow its evolution over time, do not hesitate to proceed to successive tastings to measure the evolution of the wine and its qualitative peak.

The bottles should be kept in a dark cellar, lying down, with an optimal hygrometric degree of 70%.
