Portrait of René-Henry Guéry
i. Biography
Since 1998, the cellar at Château Guéry in Azille, France has been shaped by René-Henry Guéry’s work on Minervois wines and estate cuvées, with the estate run alongside Florence Guéry. The brief is direct: keep the vineyard under constant attention from pruning to harvest, then carry that precision into the vinification so the terroir reads clearly in the finished wines.
