The 2025 Berliquet is precise, elegant and nuanced—adjectives I have not used often here, but that sum up the level of the 2025. Floral overtones, red berry fruit, mint and spice are beautifully delineated in the glass. The 2025 opens beautifully with a bit of time, showing notable breadth and layers. This is the finest Berliquet since Chanel's acquisition in 2017. Tasted two times. 04/2026

The 2025 Berliquet was picked September 3 to 17 and is aged in 38% new barrels and 23% amphora, which are being increased slightly each year. This has a very refined bouquet, lifted and quite floral, black cherry and blueberry, a little creaminess, in fact, quite Canon-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity on the entry. The limestone really comes through and underlies this Berliquet, almost like a white wine, as if someone crumbled it into the wine. That's terroir for you. It lends plenty of freshness and another layer of complexity on the finish. This is one of the best vintages of Berliquet that I have tasted from barrel. 05/2026

A blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Berliquet is the best wine to emerge from this ascendent property yet. Bursting with aromas of sweet dark berries, licorice and violets, it's medium- to full-bodied, rich and suave, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a seamless, complete profile. The estate's new winery, inaugurated with the 2023 vintage, permits harvesting block by block with greater precision. Readers who haven't been following Berliquet's progress should make a special effort to seek out the superb 2025. 04/2026

A Merlot-led blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Château Berliquet is currently resting in 38% new barrels with 23% in amphora. The nose shows incredibly pure red and black fruits, chocolaty herbs, graphite, and classic Saint-Emilion minerality. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pretty, pure, and elegant, with fine-grained tannins, moderate concentration, nicely integrated acidity, and a solid finish. It's pure, polished, and just flawlessly balanced. Checking in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.5, the 2025 might be the greatest Berliquet to date. 05/2026

Couleur noire, aux reflets pourpres. Grand nez complexe, fin, subtil et noble. Minutieux en entrée de bouche, ravissant au milieu, avec une texture grasse, hyper bien construit, le vin évolue juteux, savoureux, vers une longue finale enveloppée et brillante pour sa saveur. Beaucoup de distinction. Assemblage : 61 % Merlot, 39 % Cabernet Franc. Degré d'alcool : 14° - pH : 3,44. Rendement : 42 hl/ha. Production : 40 000 bouteilles 04/2026
