Château Berliquet
シャトー・ベルリケ
Historic Saint-Émilion GCC estate owned by Chanel, blending limestone precision with Merlot richness since the 1740s.
Château Berliquet is a Grand Cru Classé estate in Saint-Émilion with origins dating to the 1740s, making it one of the appellation oldest properties. Acquired by the Chanel group in 2017 — which also owns Château Canon and Château Rauzan-Ségla — the estate is managed by winemaker Nicolas Audebert. The 10-hectare vineyard, surrounded on three sides by Château Canon vines, is planted with 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon on a clay-limestone plateau. Vinification involves whole berry fermentation in stainless steel and cement tanks with 30-day maceration, followed by malolactic fermentation and 15 months aging in 50% new French oak barrels. Berliquet was promoted to Grand Cru Classé in 1986 — the only château elevated that year.
