Château Berliquet – Saint-Émilion Grand Cru – Red – 2017:

 

The Refined Claret: Château Berliquet Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé

As one of the oldest estates in Saint-Émilion, Château Berliquet represents the classic, Merlot-dominant Claret style, elevated by modern precision under the ownership of the Chanel group. Its clay-limestone terroir, adjacent to Château Canon, yields a wine of exceptional poise, purity, and mineral character. This is a Right Bank gem, perfect for laying down in the cellar or enjoying after a thoughtful decant.
