2018 Berliquet

The 2018 Château Berliquet is a rough blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Franc, made by the team at Canon (Thomas Duclos also consults here). It has a deep purple color and a complex, layered style with aromas and flavors of black raspberry, white flowers, dried earth, spice and forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, it has a round, expansive texture, beautiful tannins and brilliant freshness and purity, as well as a serious kick of minerality on the finish. Sourced from a smaller 10-hectare terroir on the clay and limestone soils of the upper plateau, it is aged for 16 months in 45% new French oak. Tasted twice.
