WEINWISSER: "65 % Merlot, 35 % Cabernet Franc, pH 3.55, 14.5 Vol.-%, 45 hl/ha. Verspieltes rotbeeriges Bouquet, frisches Himbeermark, Schattenmorellensaft, erotisches Veilchenparfüm und Walderdbeerkonfitüre. Am komplexen Gaumen mit seidiger Textur, saftiger Extraktfülle, stützender Rasse und trainiertem Körper. Im gebündelten aromatischen Finale ein Feuerwerk von roten Früchten, helles Edelholz, tiefschürfende Terroirwürze und erhabene Adstringenz. Der stößt ein neues Zeitalter auf, ich habe diesen Wein noch nie so gut Primeur verkostet. Gehört auf jede Einkaufsliste! 2030 – 2048."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Candied cherries, tapenade, violets, and floral notes all emerge from the 2022 Château Berliquet, a medium to full-bodied, seamless Saint-Emilion that brings plenty of ripeness while staying nicely balanced, light on its feet, and elegant. Based on 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc, from yields of 31.2 hectoliter per hectare, it will spend 16 months in 44% new French oak, with a portion of the blend aged in amphora. This isn't the most powerful or opulent wine in the vintage, but it's as seamless and graceful as they come."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, crushed stones, espresso, and red pit fruits create the nose. On the palate, the wine is expressive, silky, long, and deep, with intensity, purity and elegance, finishing with salty-chocolate, black, red and white cherries, plums and a dash of cocoa. The wine leaves you with refined, soft, polished edge in the finish. The wine blends 65% Merlot with 35% Cabernet Franc, 14.5% ABV, 3.55 pH. Drink from 2026-2048."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2022 Berliquet is brilliant, bursting with aromas of plums, wild berries and lilac, followed by a medium to full-bodied, concentrated and vibrant palate that's deep and mineral. It's likely to be another of the vintage's more attractive en primeur proportions. This estate just goes from strength to strength—and that's before its new winery has been constructed! One of the most significant changes has been opting to retain higher canopies, which means that the fruiting zone of rows planted along the slope are now shaded, preserving freshness."

DECANTER: "Juicy, supple, delicate and refined with a lovely texture and acidity that grips the mouth and says 'drink me'. Crystalline cool blue fruit, pure and well defined, this is pulsing with life, vibrant and present. Powerful and filling with a generous core, playful and friendly but complex and concentrated too. Confident with bite and appealing chalkiness at the finish. Clean and pure, so easy to enjoy still with structure and balance and a salty stone minerality on the finish. In organic conversion. Yield of 45hl/ha."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe. zarte Randaufhellung. Einladende Kirschfrucht, feine Edelholzwürze, Orangenzesten, mineralischer Touch. Saftig, reife Herzkirschen auch am Gaumen, gute Frische, zeigt Spannung und Länge, animierender Stil."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „The 2022 Berliquet, 65% Merlot and 35% Cabernet Franc with a yield of 45 hl/ha, is aging in 44% new oak barrels. Deep garnet-purple in color, it flies out of the glass with notes of lilacs, red roses, and Sichuan pepper, leading to a core of redcurrant jelly, black raspberries, and wild blueberries plus a waft of truffles. The full-bodied palate is rich and opulent, with loads of bright red berry sparks and a lively backbone, finishing on a lingering mineral note. pH 3.55."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Lots of dark and crushed stones with blackberries and black olives. Dark earth. Full-bodied and more concentrated with very intense fruit and chewy tannins. Velvety and slightly rough, but all there."

JANCIS ROBINSON: "Very deep crimson. Rich, sweet and burly compared with the Canon but still with purity. Such polish! Clean and fresh. Sleekissimo."
