Critic reviews
"The 2024 Croix Canon unwinds in the glass with notes of sweet plums and raspberries, followed by a medium-bodied, ample and polished palate underpinned by tangy acids. This blend of 41% Merlot and 59% Cabernet Franc is built to blossom with barrel maturation."
William Kelley, April 2025, RobertParker.com
"The 2024 Croix Canon aged in 18% new oak, 32% in cask and 16% in concrete vats. It has a simple bouquet with redcurrant, cassis and a floral scent emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with light tannins. The 2024 is a gentle Croix Canon that just misses a bit of substance on the finish. Give this a year in bottle and it will be ready to drink."
Neal Martin, April 2025, Vinous.com
"The 2024 Croix Canon is a fresh, vibrant wine that embodies the style of the year. Crushed flowers, bright red-toned fruit, chalk, mint and white pepper lend notable aromatic brilliance throughout. This mid-weight, floral Saint-Émilion is all charm. What a delight."
Antonio Galloni, April 2025, Vinous.com
"A juicy wine with vibrant berry fruit, red cherries, potpourri and smoked herbs. Nicely fluid and poised, with a medium body and fine, soft tannins. 59% cabernet franc and 41% merlot. Higher percentage of cabernet franc this year."
James Suckling, May 2025, JamesSuckling.com
"Slim and savoury, very much on the blueberry and redcurrant fruits, laced with waves of vanilla pod, clove spices and sage. Precise, unfussy. 44hl/ha yield, organic certified. 3.35 pH. 18% new oak. Harvest 19 September to 9 October."
