Monday, March 25, 2024 - Vertical of Canon vs Beasejour Duffau Lagarrosse (Fribourg): Vertical of Beausejour Duffau Lagarrosse vs Canon vs selected pirates 2005-2020. Main takeaways : i/ Canon trumps Beausejour overall, especially in more recent ones. ii/ Canon tends to be lighter-footed, more delicate while Beausejour is typically more extracted and ripe. iii/ St Emillion clearly struggles with the hotter vintages a few years on with 2005 the low-light, already exhibiting beef juice elements. iv/ best wines were Canon 2015 (95), 2019 and 2020 (94 each). Summary of wines and scores included in the tasting story.

Tasting note:
Light, even if somewhat riper red berry fruit. Mineral layer, but in the background. Sweet and fresh, fleshy red cherry on the palate, adding precision and weight. Structural tannin, finely grained, and racy acidity. A pleasant Canon, but maybe not in an ideal spot right now. Would hold off for a few years.
