Here we have a little nugget we'd like to drink more often. This Chardonnay also comes from a vineyard located in Saint-Bris in Yonne, northern Burgundy. Again vinified without any inputs, this wine reads like an open book. It's obvious. Citrus, substance, length, freshness, aromatic intensity, this energetic Chardonnay is capable of getting everyone to agree at an aperitif, while standing up to a salt-crusted sea bass. You won't come across "little Burgundies" like this very often.

The aim of this cuvée is to reproduce as sincerely as possible the character of the wines produced on the hill of Béru. It is a blend of the estate's different parcels, whose common features are, first and foremost, their altitude, their northern location in the Chablis vineyard and the strong presence of Kimmeridgian limestone in the soils.

The highest point on the hill of Béru, Montserre is, as its name suggests, a summit of "Serres", a particular geological formation, a superposition of highly angular fossilized limestone slabs. This unique terroir produces wines with a strong personality characterized by their chewiness, concentrated body and smoky, iodized mineral notes.

This is the emblematic cuvée of Château de Béru. It comes from a vineyard situated at an altitude of 300 m, planted around the château on an outcrop of pure Kimmeridgian limestone bedrock and surrounded by an enclosed wall several hundred years old. A long ageing period of 18 months in demi-muids, followed by a year in foudre and 6 months in bottle, is needed to tame the wild intensity of this powerful, mineral and complex wine.
