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.

Endless on the palate with plenty of umami character. So C
Vinous: 96-99 Points
The 2022 Canon is elegant and sensual with virtually no sensation of tannin. A wine with no beginning and end Canon is totally seamless. All the Canon signatures are there but woven together in an effortless gracious expression of this site. It's the sort of wine that is about subtlety and nuance more than power. Dark red/purplish fruit lavender rose petal and spice caress the palate but ultimately Canon is above all else a wine of exquisite detail. Haute couture. Tasted three times.

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 will evolve for 30-40 years. I finished my rough note on this with "Pure class."
