Tasting Notes
A wall has singled out the Clos Béru for its very unique qualities, since the 13th Century. Year after year, the Clos keeps providing typical brilliant, powerful, round and mineral wines. As is the case in all the great Burgundy terroirs, it only takes a few steps in the parcel to notice significant changes in the nature of the soil, the inclination of the slope or the vigour of the vines. There is more clay here, more lime there, but the soil is mainly calcareous. Further up, a marly streak may emerge. Aged for 24 months in old wood in predominantly old wood with a small sulphur addition at bottling. – Importer Note
The Béru family have owned the historical Château de Béru domain for 400 years. At the beginning of the 20th century when the phylloxera crisis hit all the vines were uprooted leaving the estate without its source of income. Only in 1987 the Comte Eric de Béru, out of passion for wine, replanted the entire vineyard, and in particular, the famous Clos Béru. His daughter Athénaïs now runs the domain. Since converting to biodynamics, Athénaïs' first vintage was 2005 and in the years that followed she has become one of the most revered and influential winemakers in Chablis. She now manages 15 hectares on the classic soils of Chablis, kimmeridgian clay and stones. Our visit with Athenais was truly inspirational. She is an amazing winemaker of incredible purity and virtue. - Importer Note
