About the product
Château Berliquet is a historic property in Saint-Émilion with roots dating back to the 1700s. Since the acquisition by the Chanel family in 2017, the estate has undergone a significant quality transformation under the guidance of Nicolas Audebert, who is also responsible for Château Canon. The focus is on highlighting the unique limestone terroir and creating wines with precision, elegance, and great aging ability.
The 2022 vintage is composed of 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged for 16 months, primarily in French oak barrels, of which 44% are new, while a smaller portion is matured in amphorae. The result is a concentrated and harmonious Grand Cru Classé with beautiful fruit depth, refined tannins, and a characteristic chalky minerality.
About the region
Saint-Émilion is one of Bordeaux's most prestigious wine regions and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The area is particularly known for Merlot-dominated wines that combine ripe fruit with elegance and great complexity. The chalky soils around Château Berliquet give the wines a special freshness, mineral character, and a remarkable ability to develop over many years. The Grand Cru Classé designation is awarded only to estates that meet strict quality requirements.
