We are thrilled to invite you to an exclusive seminar with Athénaïs de Béru, the visionary winemaker behind Château de Béru in Chablis, France. Join us on Monday, March 3rd, from 5 pm to 7 pm in our Cellar Room for a rare opportunity to explore the wines of one of Chablis’ most historic and exciting domaines. The cost is $75 per person, which includes a $25 credit toward wines featured in the seminar.

With a winemaking heritage that dates back more than 400 years, Château de Béru has long been known for its remarkable terroir, particularly the famed Clos Béru, a walled vineyard whose limestone-rich soils have produced exceptional wines since the 11th century. Once nearly lost to history, the estate was revitalized when Athénaïs de Béru took the reins, bringing a renewed focus on organic and biodynamic viticulture. Under her guidance, Château de Béru has become a leader in sustainability and low-intervention winemaking, crafting Chardonnays that beautifully reflect their origins—pure, precise, and deeply expressive.

Athénaïs’ approach is both respectful of tradition and boldly forward-thinking. She has embraced natural farming methods, working in harmony with the land to restore soil health, encourage biodiversity, and allow the vineyards to truly speak through the wines. In the cellar, she takes a hands-off approach, avoiding excessive manipulation to ensure that each wine captures the nuance of its vineyard. The result is wines of exceptional energy, minerality, and depth, offering a new perspective on what Chablis can be.

This seminar is a rare opportunity to taste a curated selection of Château de Béru’s wines, including limited-production bottlings that showcase the estate’s terroir-driven style. Expect an evening of lively discussion, where Athénaïs will share insights into the estate’s history, her personal journey into winemaking, and how she has transformed Château de Béru into one of the most exciting estates in Burgundy today.

Seats for this special tasting experience are limited, so we encourage you to reserve your spot soon. 

We look forward to sharing this exceptional evening of Chablis and conversation with you!
