About this Wine

Château Canon 2009 is one of the most celebrated wines produced by this historic Saint-Émilion estate. Situated on the renowned limestone plateau overlooking the medieval village of Saint-Émilion, Château Canon has long been recognised as one of the appellation's leading properties, combining the richness of Merlot with the freshness and structure provided by Cabernet Franc and its exceptional terroir.

The legendary 2009 Bordeaux vintage delivered ideal ripening conditions, resulting in wines of extraordinary concentration, depth, and balance. Château Canon 2009 opens with an opulent bouquet of black cherry, blackberry, cassis, plum, violet, rose petals, graphite, and sweet spice. Layers of cedar, tobacco leaf, dark chocolate, and crushed stone add further complexity and sophistication.

On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with remarkable density balanced by freshness and precision. Silky tannins support a core of ripe dark fruits, while notes of liquorice, espresso, mineral nuances, and exotic spices unfold with aeration. Despite its power and concentration, the wine retains the elegance and refinement that define the finest Saint-Émilion wines.

Now entering a magnificent stage of maturity, Château Canon 2009 combines youthful fruit intensity with emerging tertiary complexity. The finish is exceptionally long, layered, and harmonious, revealing notes of dried flowers, truffle, cedar, and savoury earth. Widely regarded as one of the finest vintages of the modern era, this wine possesses the structure and balance to continue evolving gracefully for another two decades or more.

Wines from Bordeaux

Bordeaux is in the south west of France and is one of the most famous wine regions in the world. It is the largest wine producing region in France, the vast majority being red wines. While it does make large quantities of everyday table wine, outside of Europe, it is mostly noted for producing some of the most expensive and prestigious wines in the world.

The Garonne and Dordogne rivers run through the region and together naturally irrigate the land while the soils are rich in calcium owing to their limestone content. These two rivers connect and run through to the Atlantic Ocean splitting Bordeaux into 3 distinct parts. We have the left bank, the right bank, and the area between the two rivers called Entre-Deux-Mers.

While in Australia we often see straight Shiraz, Cabernet or Merlots, Bordeaux does not generally produce red wine without blending. The “Bordeaux Blend” is one of the most classic and popular styles of red wine that has spread throughout France as well as throughout the New World.

On the left bank, typical top-quality blends are 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. On the right bank top quality blends are typically made of 70% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.

In general you can expect red wines from Bordeaux to taste more earthy in flavour compared to those from the New World wine regions that tend to be more fruit flavour driven.
