Vinous – Neil Martin – 96-98/100
The 2022 Canon was picked from 30 August to 22 September and is
matured in 50% new oak for a planned 18 months. It has a beautifullydefined bouquet with plumes of blackberry, raspberry and subtle violet
flower scents. The palate is very fresh on the entry, announcing a relatively
linear Canon. The limestone terroir seeps into every pore of this SaintÉmilion. This is one of the more intellectual and saline Canon wines in
recent years. A triumph in such a hot growing season, elevated by its
limestone soils.
Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate – 99-100/100
From an estate that is delivering its greatest run of vintages since the superb Post War series that preceded the frosts of 1956, the 2022 Canon is a magical wine that will be worth every effort to track down. Wafting from the glass with aromas of dark berries, wild plums and cherries mingled with hints of bay leaf, spices and violets, it’s full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with huge levels of concentration, vibrant acids and beautifully refined tannins. Concluding with a long, saline finish, this pure, perfumed and ineffably complete Canon is built for the ages, even if its structural polish is such that it will be approachable at a surprisingly early age.
