The 2021 vintage of Beauroy presents a vibrant, saline-driven profile, with Wine Advocate highlighting its orange zest, green apple, and oyster shell aromatics leading to a satiny, racy finish. Decanter describes a classy, pure wine with nice weight but slightly less density than top-tier premiers crus, while Jancis Robinson notes its early appeal and friendly structure. Early picking preserved freshness in this cooler vintage, and organic practices have evidently enhanced vineyard expression. With moderate aging potential (through 2045), this vintage is poised for earlier enjoyment compared to richer years like 2022.

The 2021 Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy is pretty and aromatic, bursting with notes of orange zest, green apple, white flowers and oyster shell, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and racy palate that concludes with a long, saline finish.

Fevre's Beauroy has a little bit of oak in the blend. From a tank sample, this has been on fine lees since Spring 2022, with bottling due in Spring 2023. Seguier picked early here to avoid over-ripeness. Nice weight on the palate which lacks the density of some of the best premiers crus but makes for a very classy, pure and highly-enjoyable wine. Good salinity to finish. Seguier says that the adoption of Organic/Bio principles has really helped Beauroy.
Closure: Cork

Cask sample. Light green-fruits aroma. Ample without being fat. Very welcoming already but perhaps not the longest-lasting

VINEYARD
One of the main Premiers Crus on the left bank, Beauroy extends beyond Chablis and several surrounding districts with its clay-limestone soils. Very typical Chablis style with good ageing potential, the wines show great finesse.
• GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Chardonnay
• SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF CHABLIS: Chalky clay, marl, and marly limestone from
the Kimmeridgian era (the upper Jurassic geological period, 160-140 million years ago), rich in minerals and oyster fossils, giving the mineral character typical of the wines of Chablis.
• SOIL AND SUBSOIL OF THE APPELLATION: Clay-limestone.
• SURFACE AND LOCALISATION OF THE APPELLATION: 37 hectares on the left
bank of the Serein River, 16 ha of which lie in the Troësmes parcel, one of the first terroirs to have produced Premiers Crus and considered to be the best oriented for producing Beauroy.
• SURFACE AND LOCATION OF OUR PARCELS: 1.12 hectare from Les Troësmes, with a south/south-east orientation.

TASTING • TASTING NOTE: Fine,subtle bouquet with lovely mineral and floral notes. On the palate, good balance between richness, liveliness and vigor.
• FOOD/WINE PAIRING: Fish, shellfish and other seafood, grilled or in a
cream sauce. Poultry and white meat, grilled or in a cream sauce.
• THE PERFECT PAIRING: Sole meunière
• SERVING TEMPERATURE: 12°C to 14°C

KNOW-HOW
• HARVEST: Manual
• VINIFICATION: Use of the principle of gravity so as to avoid all pumping, which could harm the quality of the wine. Brief (1½ - 2 hours) pneumatic pressing to obtain a gentle separation of the solid and liquid parts of the grape. Very light static settling of the juice to preserve enough fine lees so that the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations can occur naturally. The must is run into French oak barrels (aged of 6 years in average) for 40 to 50% of the harvest. The remainder is vinified in small stainless steel vats.
• MATURING: 13 to 14 months, of which 5 to 6 months on fine lees in French oak barrels, for 40 to 50% of the harvest. The end of maturation occurs in small stainless steel vats.
