Description
In the heart of Chablis, where limestone dominates the landscape and viticulture is almost an act of faith, Château de Béru has been in dialogue with the land for centuries. Under the direction of Athénaïs de Béru, the domaine has been reborn with a radically organic and biodynamic philosophy, far removed from modern interventions. Château de Béru Love Joy was born of an intimate desire: to recover the ancestral method, an almost forgotten technique that allows the wine to generate its own effervescence, without added sugar or disgorging, only with the natural strength of the grapes and time.
Château de Béru Love Joy comes from a single 5,000 square metre plot located at the top of Montserre, in the commune of Chichée, at an altitude of 400 metres above sea level. They are young vines, but planted in an extraordinary terroir: a limestone plateau covered by a thin stratum of hard stone, which forces the vines to dig deep. This geological base, combined with the cool climate and the constant high altitude wind, gives the wine a mineral tension and an unmistakable aromatic purity.
Winemaking
The entire winemaking process of Château de Béru Love Joy respects the internal logic of the wine, without any additives or artificial intervention. The grapes, certified biodynamic, are gently pressed and fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then cold static racked, after which it is left to settle. As fermentation nears its end, a cooling process is applied to slow down the yeast activity, allowing the wine to be clarified naturally without filtering.
Château de Béru Love Joy is bottled still with residual sugars and live yeasts, causing the fermentation to finish in the bottle, developing its bubbles spontaneously. No expedition liqueur is added and no disgorging is carried out. The wine rests for 18 months on the lees, under a capsule, maturing slowly with its own rhythm and character.
Taste
The sensory experience of Château de Béru Love Joy is vibrant and austere. On the nose, notes of chalk, white flower, citrus peel and a faint hint of green apple appear. The bubbles are subtle, perfectly integrated, almost aerial. On the palate, the wine is pure nerve: an incisive acidity that cuts through the palate, enveloped in a crisp, almost saline texture. Chalky notes dominate, accompanied by lime, yuzu and an elegant bitterness that adds length.
Château de Béru Love Joy is an uncompromising sparkling wine, a celebration of the land, of risk and of the essential. A free, honest wine that breathes altitude, rock and time.
