Weinwisser: "70 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 24 % Merlot, 5 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot, 15 Vol.-%, 26 hl/ha, 20 Monate in 100 % neuen Barriques. Verführerisches Bouquet, blaue Beeren, frisch gemahlener schwarzer Bergpfeffer, Lakritze, edles Veilchenparfüm und herrliche Cassiswürze. Am sublimen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, tänzerischer Rasse und perfekt geformtem Körper. Im geradlinigen, straff ausgerichteten Finale schwarzbeerige Konturen, Wacholder, Eisenkraut und dunkle Mineralik. Ein Monument von einem Wein, der seine Herkunft nicht verleugnet. Großartige Leistung und kann noch zulegen."

The Wine Advocate: "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."

Jeb Dunnuck: "An undeniable star in Margaux, the 2022 Château Brane-Cantenac checks in as a blend of 74% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 1% each Cabernet Franc, Carménère, and Petit Verdot. This deep purple-hued beauty offers up a sensational perfume of darker currants and cassis that gives way to more floral, spicy oak and graphite nuances with air. With flawless overall balance, ripe, velvety tannins, terrific purity, and a great finish, this riveting Brane-Cantenac already offers pleasure, yet I wouldn't be surprised to see this firm up with 4-5 years of bottle age, only to reemerge later and drink beautifully for 30+ years. It's one of the truly greats in the appellation, and readers will love to have this beauty in the cellar."

The Wine Cellar Insider: "I loved this from the barrel, and I am even happier to report that it is even better, now that it is bottled! The perfume is ethereal, with its bouquet of flowers, red, black, and blue fruits, licorice, and spice. On the palate, this is where the wine truly shines. Rich, plush, incredibly dense, sensuous, opulent, and elegant, the wine feels weightless, making it effortless to drink. The purity in the fruit, paired with its cashmere tannins, seamless finish, and layers of fruit, topped by salty, crushed stones, hits the 60-second mark and keeps on going. The wine blends 76% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. Make no mistake, this is the best wine ever produced at Beau-Sejour Becot, as well as the best deal in Bordeaux today for a 100 Pt. wine. Drink from 2028-2060."
