One of the oldest estates in Saint-Emilion, Château Berliquet is located on the limestone plateau just outside the town, right next to Château Canon (see map below). In the past decade, both properties were bought by fashion house, Chanel, to form its wine portfolio. The other famous name also owned by Chanel is the Left Bank property, Château Ranzan-Ségla.


Tasting Notes
"Vibrant damson in colour. I love the deep creaminess that is evident from the first nose, with hints of cocoa and gunsmoke. There is more clay here than at Canon; about 50% of the vineyard has a clay layer over the limestone whereas at Canon it is closer to 10%, meaning Berliquet is less ethereal, more urgent and powerful, still with precision and feathery chalky tannins. They have restored the underground limestone cellars for barrel ageing. A yield of 45hl/ha. 45% new oak, for what is the 2nd full year of the Canon team working the vineyard. Thomas Duclos consultant." - Jane Anson, Decanter (June, 2020), Rating: 93, Drink: 2026-2042
