critic reviews

93/100Lisa Perrotti-Brown,The Wine Independent

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Berliquet is deep garnet-purple in color. It storms out with powerful notions of baked blackberries and stewed plums, leading to suggestions of cedar, sassafras, truffles, and chocolate. The medium to full-bodied palate has compelling freshness, with soft tannins and a long, layered finish.

91/100Neal Martin,Vinous

The 2019 Berliquet has a delineated and focused bouquet with attractive blackberry, wild strawberry and violet scents, the new oak is neatly assimilated. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fine acidity, perhaps without quite the charm of the aromatics, cohesive with a silky smooth finish. Stylish, but it needs more complexity. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

94/100William Kelley,Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2019 Berliquet is showing beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of cherries, wild berries, sweet spices, violets and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and elegant, with terrific depth at the core, lively acids and ripe, powdery tannins, it concludes with a long, mineral finish. It's produced from a 9.5-hectare vineyard that encompasses three soil types: Saint-Emilion's limestone plateau (like its sibling, Chateau Canon); the slope, characterized by deep clay; and then sandy, colluvial soils at the foot of the slope. Right now it's planted with 70% Merlot and the balance Cabernet Franc, but the percentage of the latter is increasing as replanting progresses.

93/100Jane Anson,Inside Bordeaux

This is the second year for Berliquet under the Canon team, and it is proving to be an excellent addition to the stable of wines - with a more powerful, cocoa bean, espresso and blackberry fruit character than its sibling (and neighbour, as Canon is within walking distance of Berliquet), but still with the mouthwatering, gunsmoke, salted caramel and saffron hit of a limestone-dominant terroir. 45hl/ha yield, 45% new oak for ageing.
