Tasting notes
Intense and concentrated, deep dark fruits, with the power that comes from the higher clay content in the soils compared to its neighbouring pure Asteries limestone neighbours. A great moment to dirink, fine tannins, powerful but not shouting about it, plenty of black cherry and damson fruit flavours.

Tasted blind. Maturing rim on blackish ruby. Dramatic oaking and a big thick mouthful of dense fruit. Stolid. Pretty chewy end and not much lift. (JR)
Luscious depth of crimson. Really rather sumptuous and polished. Not too heavy or dry. (JR)
About the producer
The Chanel group – owners of Ch. Rauzan-Ségla and Ch. Canon – added Berliquet to their stable of wine estates in 2017. Since then, the team – led by Nicolas Audebert – has been transforming the property, gradually revealing this special Saint-Emilion site’s potential.
