James Suckling, 92 Points 

"The crushed-berry and lemon-rind character is beautiful on the nose and the palate. Medium-to full-bodied, firm and silky. Lovely texture and length. Refined. Drink in 2020." 

Vinous, 90-92 Points 

"The 2014 Croix Canon, the estate's second wine, emerges from a parcel nestled between Berliquet, Vieux Château Mazerat and Angélus. A blast of dark red stone fruit, smoke, tar, licorice and earthiness hits the palate in a wine that is dense and powerful, yet also weightless and quite classic in conception. It is precisely those contrasts that make the Croix Canon so compelling. The Croix Canon is not sold en primeur, but when it is eventually released, it will be a must-buy."  

Decanter, 90 Points 

"Long, linear and refreshing in style with juicy fruit and vigor. Blueberry and spice aromatics, and a certain grip on the finish which drives it. Drinking well now but should hold. Drinking Window 2019 - 2026." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The nose is fresh, delicate and fruity. The palate is silky with an intense aromatic expression and firm tannin structure. A long and graceful finish displays the balance and poise which define Croix Canon." 

Alcohol: 14.5%
