Blackberry, rose bush, and orange peel aromas follow through to a medium body, with silky tannins and a fresh finish. Attractive texture and linear focus to this. Very typical and high class. Try after 2026.

Vinous, November 2024

The 2020 Croix Canon has a classy, well-defined bouquet with mineral-driven black fruit and good concentration, but it doesn't try to impose itself too strongly. The palate is medium-bodied, fleshy and ripe with saturated...

Wine Enthusiast, April 2023

Dark chocolate and powerful black fruits give this wine density and concentration. They also bring a hard edge that needs to soften. With its smoky character and polished wood texture, the wine is developing well. Drink...
