92 points, “The 2018 Croix Canon is a total pleasure to taste today. Sumptuous and inviting, with so much appeal, Croix Canon is a fabulous wine to drink now and over the next decade, maybe more. Soft curves, silky tannins and pliant fruit give the 2018 so much charm. Dark plum, spice, new leather, rose petal and mint all wrap around the juicy finish. In a word: exquisite.” – Antonio Galloni, Vinous
92-93 points, “A creamy and pretty red with lots of dried flowers and spices with fresh fruit. Minerals, too. Medium-to full-bodied. Chalky.” – James Suckling
Croix Canon 2018 is a refined Bordeaux wine from the Saint-Émilion appellation and crafted by the esteemed Château Canon estate. Their second wine, Croix Canon, takes the signatures of the vintage and the chateau and reveals a high-quality expression and one not to be missed out on.
The vintage showcases a harmonious blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, embodying the region’s classic characteristics. This 2018 expression bursts forth with juicy raspberry, black plum and bramble together with subtle spice. The palate evolves with a pronounced earthiness that mingles with bramble and cedar alongside silky tannins, well balanced acidity and elegant structure, ensuring that this is a wine of approachable quality in the current form but also, should you choose, it would be an excellent example for further ageing. It is a wine reflective of the meticulous care and expertise of Château Canon, and an elegant example of second wines from Saint-Émilion. Inviting and elegant, this juicy red will pair delightfully with rich meaty dishes, creamy pastas and mature cheeses.
Château Canon is a prestigious Bordeaux wine estate located in the heart of the Saint-Émilion appellation, boasting a rich history dating back to the 18th century. The vineyards, spread across 34 hectares of prime limestone and clay soils, are primarily planted with Merlot and Cabernet Franc, which thrive in the region’s favourable climate. The estate is renowned for producing wines that exemplify elegance, complexity and a profound sense of place, consistently earning high praise from critics and wine enthusiasts alike. Under the ownership of the Wertheimer family, who also own luxury brand Chanel, Château Canon continues to uphold its legacy of crafting exceptional wines that are true expressions of Saint-Émilion’s unique terroir.
