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.

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. Drinking range: 2029 - 2039 Rating: 94 Georgie Hindle - Decanter (Apr 2026)
Well composed, textured and precise, with aromas of dark berries and stones. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Driven and layered with a long, vivid finish. Rating: 93-94 James Suckling, www.jamessuckling.com (Apr 2026)
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. Drinking range: 2030 - 2045 Rating: 92-94 Antonio Galloni, www.vinous.com (Apr 2026)
