Founded in 1768, Chateau Berliquet is one of the oldest estates in Saint Emilion. Certainly, Chateau Berliquet has the honour of being one of the first St. Emilion estates to sell their wine under their own name. In 1784, when wines were often sold as Saint Emilion, or just Bordeaux, Chateau Berliquet was already selling wine with their property name attached.

The 10 hectare, Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Berliquet is planted to 75% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon. The terroir is clay, chalk and limestone soils. The vineyard has a vine density of 6,000 vines per hectare.

The vines are old, with an impressive average vine age of about 40 years. The vineyard is one large, single block of vines. But the level of quality in the soil varies widely here. Their closest neighbouring vineyard is Chateau Canon and they are also not far from Chateau Angelus on the Magdelaine plateau.

Chateau Berliquet is a Saint Emilion property to keep track of, as they are clearly striving to produce the best wine possible and have a spare no expense mentality. The progress can be seen in their wines over the past few years
