Berliquet 2022 750ml

Château Berliquet is a Saint-Émilion Grand Cru Classé on the limestone plateau beside Château Canon, and since 2017 it has belonged to the Wertheimer family, owners of Chanel, who run it alongside Canon. Under that team the wine has become noticeably more refined, with a Merlot-led blend complemented by Cabernet Franc. 2022 was a hot, dry year in Bordeaux, yet the best limestone sites kept their freshness, producing ripe, concentrated wines with surprising balance. Expect dark plum, black cherry and spice with a fresh, mineral backbone and fine tannins. Give it a few years in the cellar and drink from about 2028 through 2040.
