Vinum bewertete (09/2024) Château Canon 2021 wie folgt: „Was für ein Duft, top komplex, tiefgründig, rauchig, kühl, florale Noten über dunkler Frucht, betörend; am Gaumen weich und rund, cremige Textur, feinste Gerbstoffe, wird am mittleren Gaumen gradliniger, zeigt Frische und viel Präzision, ausgezeichnete Tanninqualität, grandiose Länge, Veilchen im Rückaroma. Einer der ganz grossen Weine des Jahrgangs, zweifelsohne“ – 97 Punkte

James Suckling bewertete (12/2023) Château Canon 2021 wie folgt: „Lots of crunchy red cherries and blue plums followed by violets, fresh sage and Christmas spices with baking spice and coconuts. Medium- to full-bodied with superb fine-grained racy tannins and beautifully refreshing acidity that gives an edge to it. Gorgeous finesse and elegance with harmony and precision. Delightful, too. Already drinkable but give this a few more years to come around. Try after 2026 and it should be beautiful for a long time. “ – 97 Punkte

A. Galloni bewertete (02/2024) Château Canon 2021 wie folgt: „The 2021 Canon shows just how magical this site is. Vertical and explosive in feel, with tons of pure power, it impresses with its intensity, drive and super-classic profile. Bright saline notes and vibrant tannins give the 2021 a feeling of energy that only gains momentum with time in the glass. It’s not an easy Canon, like the 2015 or 2018, but it is incredibly expressive. It is the sort of wine that only truly emerges with time in bottle. I would be thrilled to own it. Canon must surely be one of the great relative values in first-class wine. Wow. Tasted two times.“ – 97 Punkte

Decanter bewertete (04/2022) Château Canon 2021 wie folgt: „Dark chocolate, perfume, violets, wild flowers and bramble berries on the nose, so much going on aromatically. Lovely succulence straight away, the bright acidity giving a mouthwatering effect and really delivering in terms of vibrant and lively fruit forwardness but with these lovely edges of graphite, slate, bitter chocolate, cream and salinity. So elegant and so refined as well as super stylish. I also love the cooling menthol Cabernet aspects you get all the way through and on the long finish. This has real class, but also an effortless quality to it that is so remarkable. One of the most memorable wines of the vintage! 3.37pH. Both Canon, Rauzan-Segla and Berliquet are excellent achievements this year“ – 96 Punkte
