About the Winemaker

Chateau de Beru

Château de Béru, rooted in over 400 years of family history, is now championed by Athénaïs de Béru, a leading figure in natural wine. After the phylloxera crisis, the vineyard was revived in 1987 by Comte Éric de Béru, who replanted the iconic Clos Béru. Athénaïs and her team have transformed the estate into a natural wine pioneer, embracing organic and biodynamic farming to craft vibrant, terroir-driven wines.

With 8 hectares of limestone-rich soils, Béru wines capture the essence of Chablis—mineral, fresh, and full of character. Ideal for American natural wine lovers, these small-batch creations are a pure expression of the land and a testament to sustainable winemaking.
