Critic reviews
"Confirming expectations from the en primeur tastings, the 2023 Berliquet is superb, revealing a complex, perfumed bouquet of lead pencil, black raspberries, violets and spices, accented by fresh licorice. Medium- to full-bodied, layered and textured, it is deep and seamless, built around a fleshy core of fruit and concluding with mineral, chalky tannins. A few years in the cellar will allow it to gain further harmony."

"The 2023 Alter Ego, bottled late July, takes a few swirls of the glass to cohere, but offers quite enticing scents of blueberry, violet, blood orange and vanilla. Very fine delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with sweet black cherries and blackcurrant laced with black pepper. Gentle grip with just a touch of bitterness that lends tension. This sample was decanted, which I feel benefited its showing."

"The 2023 Berliquet is classy, elegant and polished, just as it was en primeur. Crushed flowers, red cherry fruit, leather, incense, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco are beautifully delineated. The biggest changes at Berliquet since Chanel acquired it in 2017 are the tannin profile and purity of fruit, both of which are exalted in the 2023, the first vintage made in the new cellar. It's a terrific effort from the team led by Technical Director Nicolas Audebert. Tasted three times."

"Fresh, crunchy red cherries, red berries, chalk and hibiscus on the nose. Medium-bodied on the palate, with fresh, bright acidity, fine tannins and a very succulent finish. Lovely brightness and acidity here gives lots of energy and drinkability. More about freshness and finesse here. 59% merlot and 41% cabernet franc. Lovely now, but can hold."

"Sweet black cherry and damson fruit, vivid and sculpted, sage, white pepper, pumice stone, enjoyable. Harvest September 13 to October 5, 45hl/ha yield. 45hl/ha yield, in organic conversion. Tasted twice"
