Chablis

The Chablis appellation covers a wide area and offers very contrasted types of terroirs.
In the particular case of the Château de Béru, the domain’s parcels cover a total of 8 hectares. They all are located in the Béru area and give wines that express the mineral and iodised notes typical of the village wines.

The vines are 20 years old. They are conducted in guyot double shoot, the density of plantation is 6000 feet per hectare.

Considerable improvements have been made since 2006, noticeably in the organic prevention of diseases, in the trellising, and in the soil work.

Date of harvest
End of September

Vinification and Aging
The grapes are handpicked at maturity in 10kg crates. The harvest is directly pressed – in a pneumatic press at low pressure. The musts are directly transferred to stainless steel tanks for alcoholic fermentations. The close attention brought at each step of the winemaking process is the key element which allows for low sulphur vinification. Malolactic fermentation lasted until summer. The cold weather at the end of winter contributes to the natural clarification of the wines.
The Chablis is aged until the Malolactic fermentation is over. It is then immediately bottled to preserve its freshness and its minerality.

2009 vintage
The vintage 2009 was a very good year in Burgundy and Chablis in particular producing some very nice grapes, balanced and golden. Chablis 2009 was marked by a beautiful mature roundness and delicacy, and an intense minerality, typical of the terroirs of the appellation. It is also a wine of great intensity by the energy of our land.
