Winemaker Notes
Like a ray of light. The midday sun. Ice and fire, between clay and limestone. A ball of fire and plump, juicy, scarlet tears sliding down the inside of the glass. The tinkling of silvery leaves, the wind blowing softly over the hillside. Raspberry, graphite, cedar and evening perfumes. An inky, sappy juice, which glides over and fills the palate deliciously. The galloping power, the strength and grace of the tannins, all the energy of a skillfully-sculpted material. The infinity of an eternal flavor, the escape, the dream and the requiescence in just one sip.

James Suckling
Here is a wine with great pedigree near Ausone. Full body, yet fast and agile. The finish lasts for minutes. You see the chalky soil in the wine. Barrel Sample: 96-97
-
Decanter
Generous plums, berries and cherries with floral fragrant nuances and plentiful chocolate and liquorice adding weight. Opulent and lengthy. Drinking Window 2023 - 2038
-
Wine Spectator
This has some heft, with dark currant, fig and blackberry confiture flavors liberally inlaid with graphite, singed mesquite and singed iron notes. Best from 2022 through 2032.

The name of Berliquet is one of the oldest Saint-Emilion vineyards, it is already on the cards Belleyme in 1768.
In 1829, Paguierre Berliquet been included among the 5 great wines of appellation.
The classification of 1986 allowed Berliquet to regain the place it held among the great wines of St. Emilion.
Planted on 10 hectares, Merlot and Cabernet Franc overhang the western hillside of Saint-Emilion and dive there to gently bend towards the Dordogne. The structural imprint of the limestone plateau is evident here and its potential to produce wines that are both racy, tense and elegant is undeniable. The estate adjoins the vineyard of Chateau Canon, 1st Grand Cru Classé, with which it now shares the same owner.
Since 2017, Chateau Berliquet belongs to CHANEL, already involved in Bordeaux vineyards for over twenty years in Chateau Canon, but also Chateau Rauzan-Ségla, 2nd Grand Cru Classé in Margaux.
A new stage begins for Chateau Berliquet, and a new adventure for the team of Chateau Canon who is now taking care of the property.
The ambition, again and again, is to produce just wines, reflections of their terroir, whose fabric and finesse will challenge the years.
