{"product_id":"2022-chateau-canon-saint-emilion-grand-cru-bottle-750ml","title":"2022 Chateau Canon, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, Bottle (750ml)","description":"RP100 \"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.\" WK for TWA Mar 2025\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJD100 \"Ripe black cherries, graphite, crushed stone, and a beautiful floral character all define the 2022 Château Canon, another brilliantly pure and seamless wine from this team. Based on 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc, it was raised in 50% new French oak, with a small percentage in foudre. Medium to full-bodied, it’s focused and precise on the palate, with ripe, polished tannins, integrated acidity, and a gorgeous finish. The elegance and purity here are truly striking, and it brings that rare mix of power and elegance. This sensational Saint-Émilion should evolve gracefully for three decades. In my view, it’s the finest Canon ever, surpassing the 2009, 2010, 2015, 2018, 2019, and 2020.\" JD Feb 2025\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam Kelley for RobertParker.com writes, \"In the last few years, this sleeping giant has well and truly reawakened, and the 2020 vintage represents the finest Canon produced since the early 1960s. Extensive replanting between 1996 and 2003, overseen by Audebert's predecessor, John Kolasa, saw some 50% of the estate's 22 hectares replaced. The fact that these vines are now arriving at full maturity surely goes some way to accounting for Canon's contemporary renaissance.\" Published: Apr 06, 2023","brand":"Canon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48100007411949,"sku":"BDX:CAN:CANO-0750-2022-F0L0C0","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/8592\/6203\/files\/BDXCANCANO-0750-2022-F0L0C0.jpg?v=1748546164","url":"https:\/\/grandcruliquidassets.com\/products\/2022-chateau-canon-saint-emilion-grand-cru-bottle-750ml","provider":"Grand Cru Liquid Assets","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
