From the beginning this estate has always been grouped with the first growths of the appellation, in both the 1828 and 1986 classifications. Berliquet sits just outside of the city of Saint-Émilion on the Magdelaine plateau. Their southwest facing vineyards encompass many Premiers Grands Crus Classés plots. In 2008, Berliquet hired Nicolas Thienpont and Stéphane Derenoncourt to join their team.
