Christian Balog beschreibt den Chateau Canon 2022 Saint Emilion wie folgt:
96-98
Die Nase ist sehr besonders und unterscheidet sich von allem bisher verkostetem, die Frucht wirkt besonders köar und unverfälscht, die dunkle reife Kirsche steht auch hier in der Mitte, dass folgt sofort eine gewisse Salzige Nuance, man kann die Kalkigkeit sehr gut riechen. Auch hier umspielt eine hellbeerige Aromatik das ganze mit Rosezweig Anklängen. Km Mind ganz präzises feinkörniges Tannin, poliert und mit einer messerscharfen Mineralität. Sehr gute und aromatische Länge.
Den Chateau Canon 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt William Kelley wie folgt:
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.
Den Chateau Canon 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt James Suckling wie folgt:
Endless on the palate with plenty of umami character. So Canon in its nature with plenty of fruit and fine tannins, yet almost weightless. The structure is all there. Electric. Long, long, long. 75% merlot and 25% cabernet franc.
Den Chateau Canon 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt Jeb Dunnuck wie folgt:
Tasted on three separate occasions (and I thought it had the potential to be a perfect wine on one of those), the 2022 Château Canon is an incredible wine in the making, and it might be the finest in the series starting in 2015. A blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc harvested between August 30 and September 22, it comes from yields of 45 hectoliters per hectare and hit 14.5% alcohol. The élevage will run 16-18 months in just 30% new French oak. As classy as they come, it has a beautiful perfume of red and blue fruits as well as notes of white flowers, truffly earth, woodsmoke, and forest floor. With incredible density, a multi-layered texture, ultra-fine tannins, and integrated acidity, this incredible Canon
Den Chateau Canon 2022 Saint Emilion beschreibt Fallstaff wie folgt:
Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Reife rote Kirschen, Nugat und Lakritze, feines Edelholz, etwas Cassis, sehr einladendes Bukett. Komplex, reife Herzkirschen, feine Süße, integrierte, tragende Tannine, mineralisch-salzig im Abgang, zeigt große Länge, gute Frische, sicheres Reifepotenzial

Dark in color, the wine kicks open the door with its floral bouquet. From there, you find in the perfume, crushed stone, red fruits, licorice, spice, and wild cherries. On the palate, the wine is perfectly balanced between elegance and finesse on one side, and silky, fresh, sexiness and sensuality on the other side. The fruit shows a remarkable sense of purity. There are no hard edges. The finish is seamless. This is the best vintage since 2015. And in time, it could even be better! Drink from 2027-2060

98 / 100
A superb Canon in 2022. Supple, shiny, oh so charming, gorgeously sleek and well textured like pure silk but with density to the tannins that grips and coats the mouth, plus you know there's such power and concentration underneath in the waves of liquorice, stones, blackcurrant fruit. Extremely polished and charming. Vibrant, energetic, tense, and straight. It's not plush, more direct, but this wine thrills. Seamless and effortless, bright and energetic but with such a calm control and confidence. A stunning wine more for what it doesn't say than what it does in 2022. A yield of 45hl/ha. pH 3.5. 18 months ageing with 50% new oak. Harvest 30 August - 22 September.
