Description

Tasting notes for the Chablis Côte aux Prêtres 2018 - Château de Béru

EYE: A pale and brilliant yellow robe with green reflections. Its color is vibrant and luminous, indicating its youthfulness. The clarity is perfect, reflecting the purity of this wine. One can also observe a slight effervescence in the glass, a sign of freshness.
NOSE: Fresh and expressive. Dominant aromas of citrus fruits such as lime and grapefruit mingle with typical mineral and saline notes of Chablis wines. Delicate floral nuances, such as acacia and elderflower, can also be perceived. Subtle hints of white-fleshed fruits, such as apple and pear, complete this elegant aromatic ensemble.
MOUTH: GThis wine reveals a beautiful liveliness and delicate freshness. The flavors of citrus fruits unfold with intensity, offering a balanced combination of lime, grapefruit, and orange zest. Pronounced minerality adds complexity to the wine, while notes of white flowers and white-fleshed fruits contribute subtle aromatic dimensions. The texture is light and precise, with vibrant acidity and a long, saline finish.

In short: This Chablis Côte aux Prêtres 2018 from the Château de Béru is a very dynamic Chablis wine. Its expressive nose and vibrant palate make it an ideal choice for lovers of mineral white wines. It pairs perfectly with seafood, shellfish, grilled or creamy-sauced fish dishes, as well as fresh goat cheese-based dishes. In terms of aging potential, this Chablis can be enjoyed now (although with some slight decanting first) or cellared for 5 to 8 years in the proper conditions, allowing its aromas to develop and its mineral character to further refine.

Château de Béru

Family story in the Chablisien

The Château de Béru (which is now a Historical Monument) and its vineyard have existed since the 17th century in the Chablisien region. The estate was selling its wines until 1887. That year, all the grapevines had to be destroyed because of the phylloxera crisis (a parasitic insect infecting the grapes). During the 1980’s, Count Éric de Béru, a true wine lover, decided to replant the entire vineyard. He also created a small parcel, which he aptly called the "Clos de Béru".

A few years later, the count fell ill and had to close the family business. He left Burgundy to go back to Paris. This could’ve been the end of the vineyard if his daughter Athénaïs had not chosen to take matters into her own hands. In 2005, one of the farmers renting her father’s plot of land retired. This was the perfect occasion for Athénaïs de Béru to resurrect the family estate and walk in her dad’s footsteps.

At 27, she left her career in the world of finance behind for the unknown life of a winemaker and, with the help of her mother Laurence, Athénaïs began to make some changes in the estate. Her biggest move was to switch the entire Château de Béru to biodynamics, to ensure that the Chablis terroir can truly shine through her wines. The estate was even certified Demeter in 2011. Now, at 42, Athénaïs still produces wine at the family estate, on top of having her own brand: Athénaïs de Béru.
