Château Canon: Tasting & Drinking
Château Canon has not always met with universal approval from all critics, and I think if these opinions are based on a long view across several decades then such criticisms may in some vintages be very warranted. There was certainly a decline here in the latter part of the 20th century, and a tangible recovery under the new owners. On the other hand, I have friends who swear by the wines of this estate and who will make a beeline for this wine first, every time, and of course these drinkers are looking at the more recent vintages and not the history books. Whether the wines of Château Canon suit your plate is clearly a matter of taste and personal preference, nevertheless I don’t think anyone can deny that there has been huge investment and a great recovery here in recent years, and the quality of the wine is now patently on the rise.
