A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2022 Canon la Gaffelière exhibits aromas of raspberries and plums, complemented by notions of iris, rose petals, incense and burning embers. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, it's supple, suave and sophisticated, with a lively core of fruit, powdery tannins and a long, saline finish. ~ (96) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-28-2023

The 2022 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière is brilliant stuff and should be snatched up by readers. Black cherries, iron, tapenade, and exotic floral notes all define the aromatics, and it's full-bodied, with a layered, opulent mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and no shortage of mid-palate depth or length on the finish. A blend of 50% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon that will see 40% new oak, it's a flawlessly balanced, incredibly impressive Saint-Emilion that will have no problems competing with the 2019 and 2020. ~ (97) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-10-2023

Bright crimson hue. Lifted and aromatic with a wholesome expression of fruit. Juicy on the palate, the tannins smooth but persistent. Lots of energy. Lingers on the finish. Structured for ageing but already appealing. ~ (17) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 5-5-2023
