Biodynamic, Minimal Intervention

Variety: Chardonnay

Region: Burgundy, France

Beru are a real unique Chablis Producer. They've been making wines here for the better part of 500 years, but since 2010 Athenais has been in charge.

The sub-region of Beru has historically been a Co-Op grower region, rarely bottling their own wines. Chateau Beru is very much a trailblazer in that regard. 

Their own domaine encompasses a Monopole (A single family owned vineyard) that was identified by Monks 1000 years ago as an important place to grow grapes. 

On style the wines are riper and richer than some but balanced by the unmistakable freshness form their soils (Chablis is still Chablis, even in a hotter world).

For the nerds this goes through full malolactic fermentation (creamier style) with a long and slow fermentation over 18 months (low and slow wins the race).

As a wine, forget about the nuts and bolts. This is mouthfilling, brood, fresh but weirdly dainty. Like watching An expert Pool player potting balls.
