2022 Chateau Canon – Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Bordeaux

The 2022 Chateau Canon captures the elegance and precision that have defined this Right Bank estate for centuries. Located on the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, Canon is celebrated for producing wines that balance aromatic finesse with remarkable aging potential. The 2022 vintage, shaped by an exceptional growing season, is already being recognized as a standout year for Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wines.

Tasting Notes

Opening with layered aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and fresh raspberry, the bouquet deepens to reveal notes of graphite, crushed stone, and subtle baking spice. The palate is plush yet defined, with ripe tannins, concentrated fruit, and a mineral-driven finish that speaks to Canon’s limestone-rich terroir.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Château Canon’s vineyards span approximately 34 hectares, planted predominantly to Merlot with a significant proportion of Cabernet Franc. The 2022 harvest was carried out entirely by hand, parcel by parcel, ensuring optimal ripeness. Fermentation took place in temperature-controlled vats, followed by aging in French oak barrels, a portion of which are new, to enhance complexity and texture.

Investment & Collectibility

Château Canon’s track record for longevity makes it one of the most sought-after names in Bordeaux for collectors. The 2022 vintage, produced in limited quantities, is anticipated to have decades of cellaring potential. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Insights

The 2022 Bordeaux vintage was marked by a warm, dry summer tempered by timely rains, allowing grapes to achieve outstanding phenolic ripeness. For estates like Canon, this resulted in wines of concentration, freshness, and remarkable balance—a combination that will ensure longevity in the cellar.

(Rating 97 - 99+) 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."

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

(Rating 99 - 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.

Vinous

(Rating 96 - 99) 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.
