Chateau Berliquet
Founded in 1768, Chateau Berliquet is one of the oldest estates in Saint Emilion. Certainly, Chateau Berliquet has the honor 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.
Located directly between Chateau Ausone, Chateau Belair-Monange & Croix Cannon, the 10 hectare, Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Berliquet is planted to 75% Merlot, 23% Cabernet Franc and 2% Cabernet Sauvignon.
