Château de Beru
Montserre Chablis Chardonnay
An organic explosion of concentrated Meyer lemon and stony brine. Not for the faint of heart but wow.

Jun 24th, 2020Bright is the dominant word I would use to describe this wine. It shimmers in the glass and on the palate. It speaks of just picked Meyer lemons with a hint of sea spray and of course that core of minerality. I had high hopes when I opened this bottle, and they were surpassed. Paired with a thrown together version of shrimp and grits, this wine brought smiles to our faces and lit up the room with its incredible prettiness.

Mar 19th, 2018Stellar. Acid is singing, but it’s tempered by a slight oxidation. Peanut oil oxidation. Viscous and acidic and textured with mineral laces. It’s got ripping acid for a 15. And no sulfur. Really good.

Feb 16th, 2018Wow, got that lean Chablis character but some wonderful waxy-ness, yellow apple/pear and length.

Mar 14th, 2021Fascinating stuff. Slightly oxidative (not premoxed). It reminds me more of a Jura wine than Chablis. The nose has some exotic spice and light floral accents. The palate is crisp, but more savory than tense or mineral. I love the uniqueness from Beru.
