The Wine Independent (100)
Composed of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Canon is deep garnet-purple in color. It offers up fragrant notes of mocha, violets, and licorice over a core of plum preserves and wild blueberries, plus a waft of Indian spices. The full-bodied palate is full-on gorgeous, delivering bright, energetic black and blue fruit layers with a lively backbone and super-fine, perfectly ripe tannins, finishing long, long, long.HK$4,960.00 -

(3x75cl) 2020Wine Advocate (100)
The brilliant 2020 Canon looks set to surpass both the 2019 and 2016 as this estate's finest wine since the post-war period, though like many of the best 2020s, it will require more patience than its 2019 counterpart. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of cherries and raspberries mingled with notions of exotic spices and iris, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with vibrant acids and beautifully polished, chalky tannins. Pure and precise, it concludes with a long, mouthwatering finish. This beautifully constructed wine communicates the essence of this superb limestone terroir, and it will be worth a special effort to track down and cellar.HK$3,940.00 -

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.HK$6,300.00 -

(12x75cl) 2022Wine Advocate (100)
The 2022 Canon has turned out brilliantly in bottle. Unwinding in the glass with aromas of sweet raspberries, wild berries and cherries mingled with hints of violets, pencil shavings, black truffle and rose petals, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a dense, enveloping core of fruit underpinned by a chassis of sweet, suave tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. This is one of the most muscular, broad-shouldered vintages of Canon in recent years, but it retains every bit of its limestone-driven identity. As I wrote two years ago, this is an estate that is delivering its greatest run of vintages since the superb Post War series that preceded the frosts of 1956, and the 2022 is indeed reminiscent of a modern day version of one of those great years.HK$14,650.00 -

(12x75cl) 2023James Suckling (99-100)
This is so elegant and sophisticated already, with a really electric presence and length that goes on and on. It's medium- to full-bodied with an intensity of tannins. It remains weightless and energetic. The pH is 3.41, making this a vivid and lively wine. Currant, orange and stone. Sea salt, too. The limestone soils created a unique wine here in 2023. A blend of 71% merlot and 29% cabernet franc.HK$11,405.00 -

(6x75cl) 2011From the renowned vineyards of Lalande-de-Pomerol, Canon Chaigneau 2011 is an exquisite testament to French viniculture. Meticulously curated by the Chaigneau family, its superior quality is a reflection of centuries-old viticulture expertise. This right-banked Bordeaux blend contains 80% Merlot, dignifying it with a ruby lustre and mirroring the aesthetic of Pomerol's grand terroir. Following a harvest with rigorous selection, the grapes ferment in concrete vats leading to the birth of divine complexity and character.
The 18-month oak barrel maturation process lends Canon Chaigneau 2011 robust notes of ripe dark fruit, balanced by fine, velvety tannins. Its aroma bursts with a fragrant blend of raspberries, sweet spices, and truffle undertones. With exquisite balance and length, the Canon Chaigneau 2011 reveals an impressive maturation potential, and its opulence will evolve admirable complexity over the years. It's a vintage that compels sages of the wine world to express profuse admiration.

(6x75cl) 2016
A radiant gem among fine wines, Canon Chaigneau 2016 hails from the heartland of French viticulture, Bordeaux's esteemed Lalande-de-Pomerol. A meticulouly-crafted blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it owes its elegance and structure to vines averaging 35 years of age gracing gravel over clay soils. Its birth in stainless steel vats was followed by a dexterous finessing for 13 months in French oak barrels.
An instance of Château Chaigneau's exemplary stewardship, Canon Chaigneau 2016 offers an aromatic barrage of ripe black fruits, notes of truffle, and an endearing undercurrent of minerality, culminating in a finish that lingers delicately on the palate. As it distances from its well-rounded youth, it unfurls into a richer, more complex marvel, a testament to the deft marriage of terroir and traditional vinification. Capturing the quintessence of Bordeaux's winemaking pedigree, Canon Chaigneau 2016 remains a cherished offering from Château Chaigneau.

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (92)
The 2018 Croix Canon is a total pleasure to taste today. Sumptuous and inviting, with so much appeal, Croix Canon is a fabulous wine to drink now and over the next decade, maybe more. Soft curves, silky tannins and pliant fruit give the 2018 so much charm. Dark plum, spice, new leather, rose petal and mint all wrap around the juicy finish. In a word: exquisite.HK$1,880.00 -
(6x75cl) 2020Vinous - Neal Martin (91)
The 2020 Croix-Canon was impressive out of barrel; it contains the highest-ever percentage of Cabernet Franc due to the mildew-affected Merlot. With a well-defined bouquet, it shows beautiful clarity, dark berry fruit commingling with boysenberry and just a hint of pressed iris flower. The palate is medium-bodied with crunchy black fruit, silky smooth and a very fine thread of acidity with a refined, quite saline finish. This is a Deuxième Vin with pedigree.HK$2,045.00 -
(12x75cl) 2005Wine Spectator (95-100)
This is very concentrated on the nose, with blackberry and violets. Full-bodied, with masses of tannins and bright fruit. It goes on and on and on. Exceptional. Score range: 95-100HK$11,640.00 -
This exciting wine adds quality and diversity to Bordeaux. Dominated by Merlot and Cabernet Franc whilst low in Cabernet Sauvignon, it is fruit forward with plenty of personality to its nose. The 2009 has flamboyance typical of this vintage with silky tannins.HK$10,730.00 -
Wine Advocate (96)
Deep garnet in color, the 2010 Canon la Gaffeliere delivers classic plum preserves, boysenberries and cigar box scents with wafts of underbrush, dried roses and cinnamon stick. Full-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house with a solid line of grainy tannins and racy freshness supporting the dense fruit, finishing with compelling purity and great length.HK$11,985.00 -
(12x75cl) 2011Wine Spectator (93)
Offers a deliciously mouthwatering range of red currant, damson plum, blackberry and loganberry fruit, spiced with hints of black tea and cinnamon and backed by a long, briary, fine-grained finish. A sleek, refined wine that should age well. Best from 2016 through 2028. -JMHK$7,145.00 -
Vinous - Antonio Galloni (94)
The 2012 Canon La Gaffelière possesses striking aromatic presence, beautifully layered fruit and exceptional balance. This is arguably the most refined, precise wine in Stephan von Neipperg's stable, which is not surprising given the blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Rose petal, mint and generous red stone fruits meld into the creamy yet understated finish. This is a striking 2012 that speaks to finesse.HK$7,100.00
Bordeaux's relatively diverse weather, particularly its rainfall, means that vintage variation can be quite broad between some years. However advances in wine making techniques, technology and investment has meant that many chateaux are still able to create very good wines in "lesser vintages". From the best vintages wines are made that are clambered for all over the world and mature excellently for many years.
This is a selection of some of our favourite vintages from Bordeaux over the last few decades, as well some more recent ones.
