Ch. Berliquet comprises a small vineyard of just 10 hectares. It neighbours Ch. Canon, is under the same ownership, and it also shares a winemaking team. However, stylistically the wine here is very different: the red fruit is very focused, tight and almost citrus. The tannins are powdery, serried and precise. The finish is long and tight, with tension, a hint of cocoa nib and some saline minerality. This is a composed yet architectural wine, offering more with each examination. Drink 2027-2040.
