2010 | Berliquet | Saint-Emilion

Spicy, refined aromas of red cherry, raspberry and flowers. Bright, pure and focused, this medium-bodied wine exhibits pristine red cherry and red berry flavors lifted by minerals and flowers. The very long, smooth finish features lingering strawberry and white pepper nuances hinting at cabernet franc and polished tannins.

Reviews:

• Wine Spectator: This is nicely cloaked with charcoal and roasted apple wood, while the core of steeped fig, blackberry and black cherry paste notes sits in reserve. The well-defined finish is mostly grip for now, but should meld in the cellar.

• James Suckling: Attractive nose with fresh leather, blueberries and vanilla. Nutmeg, chocolate and cedar. Full and super round with smooth polished tannins and excellent fruit. Long finish with licorice and soft mineral notes. Wonderful wine that will drink well from 2016.

Producer Information

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.
