Critic reviews
"A blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Berliquet is the best wine to emerge from this ascendent property yet. Bursting with aromas of sweet dark berries, licorice and violets, it's medium- to full-bodied, rich and suave, with beautifully refined tannins, lively acids and a seamless, complete profile. The estate's new winery, inaugurated with the 2023 vintage, permits harvesting block by block with greater precision. Readers who haven't been following Berliquet's progress should make a special effort to seek out the superb 2025."
William Kelley, April 2026, RobertParker.com
"The 2025 Berliquet was picked September 3 to 17 and is aged in 38% new barrels and 23% amphora, which are being increased slightly each year. This has a very refined bouquet, lifted and quite floral, black cherry and blueberry, a little creaminess, in fact, quite Canon-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp acidity on the entry. The limestone really comes through and underlies this Berliquet, almost like a white wine, as if someone crumbled it into the wine. That's terroir for you. It lends plenty of freshness and another layer of complexity on the finish. This is one of the best vintages of Berliquet that I have tasted from barrel."
Neal Martin, May 2026, Vinous.com
"The 2025 Berliquet is precise, elegant and nuanced—adjectives I have not used often here, but that sum up the level of the 2025. Floral overtones, red berry fruit, mint and spice are beautifully delineated in the glass. The 2025 opens beautifully with a bit of time, showing notable breadth and layers. This is the finest Berliquet since Chanel's acquisition in 2017. Tasted two times."
Antonio Galloni, April 2026, Vinous.com
"A Merlot-led blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc, the 2025 Château Berliquet is currently resting in 38% new barrels with 23% in amphora. The nose shows incredibly pure red and black fruits, chocolaty herbs, graphite, and classic Saint-Emilion minerality. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, pretty, pure, and elegant, with fine-grained tannins, moderate concentration, nicely integrated acidity, and a solid finish. It's pure, polished, and just flawlessly balanced. Checking in at 14% alcohol with a pH of 3.5, the 2025 might be the greatest Berliquet to date."

"Juicy acidities, cloves, blueberry, fresh mint, clearly set to soften and smooth over ageing, the overall structure has energy and momentum that lift through the finish, great quality and a healthy 42 hl/ha yield. 3.44pH. Harvest September 3 to 17. Tasted twice."
Jane Anson, April 2026, JaneAnson.com
"Vivid pink colour in the glass, vibrant. Beautifully crystalline blackcurrant and violet scents, dried wild herbs on the nose, really expressive and detailed. Smooth and crisp, tangy but well balanced by salty, chalky tannins that have such clarity. There’s tension for sure - it’s quite streamlined but with freshness and coolness at the core. The Cabernet gives this focus and structure - you really feel it in the texture. Finessed, dense, juicy with a gorgeous salty, cola edge that really lingers. A very accomplished wine. 3.44pH. A yield of 42hl/ha."

"(Saint-Émilion; 61% Merlot; 39% Cabernet Franc; a final yield of 42hl/ha; pH 3.44; 14% alcohol; tasted a number of times, the last time, of course, at Canon itself with Nicolas Audebert). I love the purity of the cassis and blueberry aromatics, and that trace of violet with a little peony that I recognise as the signature of this glorious terroir - plateau and côteau together. There are freshly crushed peppercorns - both rose and green, with the natural freshness and aromatic interest that implies. A staggeringly beautiful wine, ample and intensely succulent, with perhaps less layering and density than Canon but the same quality of tannic management and the same precision, finesse and sheer sensitivity to terroir. I love the little note of clove that reinforces the delicate florality in a way. As ever, something of a coup de coeur for me. Definitely the best ever from here, with both density and energy and a delightful signature of powdery limestone tannin. "
