2018 Château Berliquet, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé

Since October 2017 this property has been under the same ownership and management as Ch. Canon, which it adjoins. 2018 is the first vintage where the benefits of the change of ownership are on display. The wine was assembled from 78% Merlot with 22% Cabernet Franc, and spent 14-16 months in small oak barrels, of which 45% were new. In colour rich purple-ruby, this has intense black fruits aromas, with complex spiciness. Palate shows bright, well-rounded fruitiness on the attack, fine intensity, gentle tannins. A beautiful wine for mid-term ageing (for drinking 2024-2035+).
