Since coming under the Chanel umbrella, Berliquet has been transformed by Nicolas Audebert and team. Gone are the monolithic rather cumbersome wines of yesteryear and in their place we have bright, vital bittersweet fruit wrapped in refined tannins. Initially floral and bright with hints of plums and cherries. Much more finesse than usual. There's a juicy core with lots of energy and an almost sumptuous texture and no hint of rusticity. Not complex, but there's lovely freshness and luminosity here. This should drink very well given a few years.
