94 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "A tasting of the four main parts (Les Challaix, Le Clos, La Dardouille and Bachasson) suggests that this will be a vintage that combines power – black fruits and thick tannins from La Dardouille – and more lifted, fleshy, fragrant, low acid elements from Les Challaix, plus Bachasson's rose and raspberry. A little richer and more velvety than a typical year. Drink 2023-2031. (09/17/23)."
92-94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Saint Joseph is classic Saint Joseph with its darker currant, plum, and cassis-driven fruits as well as incredible minerality. It's deep, medium to full-bodied, has lots of tannins, the classic austerity of the appellation, and a great finish. It's going to need some bottle age, but you can easily put this up with the crème de la crème of the appellation. (03/28/24)."
93 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "The 2022 Saint-Joseph is medium-bodied and savory, with delicate notes of red plum, crushed violets, licorice, graphite and a hint of dried meat. Layers of black olive and white pepper add depth and complexity. Smooth tannins provide gentle structure, leading to a persistent and elegant finish. Drink 2026-2037. (Nov 2024)."
