Tasting notes for the Chablis Clos Béru Monopole 2018 - Château de Béru

EYE: Pale gold color, typical of Chablis wines. Its clarity is remarkable, indicating its purity. Subtle green reflections can also be observed. The wine exhibits a beautiful shine and good density in the glass.
NOSE: Delicate and expressive aromatic bouquet. Aromas of citrus fruits, such as clementine, lemon, and grapefruit, blend with notes of white flowers, such as acacia and elderflower. Mineral nuances of flint and oyster shell emerge, reminding us of the limestone origins of the Chablis terroir. Delicate hints of fresh butter, pastries, and hazelnut add a subtle creamy dimension.
MOUTH: Lively and fresh texture. Citrus flavors unfold with vivacity, accompanied by notes of green apple and white-fleshed fruits. Mineral characteristics are present, bringing a saline touch and a beautiful tension. The acidity is superbly balanced, providing a sensation of freshness and a lingering finish.

In short: This Chablis Clos Béru Monopole 2018 from Château de Béru is a wine of great elegance and a beautiful expression of its terroir. Its delicate nose, lively palate, and pronounced minerality make it a classic and refined Chablis. This vintage pairs perfectly with seafood such as oysters, scallops, and shrimp. It also complements grilled fish and poultry dishes with finesse. This Chablis can be experienced right now for its freshness and aromatic expression, but it can also age in the cellar for 5 to 8 years to further develop complexity and evolution.

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.
