Madame Veuve Point, Gevrey Chambertin, 2019

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Madame Veuve Point is the unique story of a woman winemaker whose wines won the Grand Prize at the 1904 Saint Louis World Fair, and have continued making excellent Burgundy wines ever since. Now, Géraldine Point is the latest generation of the family to pick up the torch and continue a hundred year old wine making tradition.

A dozen kilometers south from Dijon, at the foot of the Lavaux valley, Gevrey-Chambertin spreads its vineyards toward Côtes de Nuits over nearly 140 hectares. The canons of Langres have long watched over these vines, as proof of how far this nectar plunges its roots into the entire history of Burgundy wine. These red wines from Madame Veuve Point are entirely made from a single pinot noir variety, also called “pino noirien” in Burgundy

TASTING NOTES

This Gevrey Chambertin is a very intense deep garnet colour. Strawberry, blackberry, violet, reseda and rose make up the aromas that gradually develop into a bouquet of licorice and leather. The palate is full, rich and powerful. It asserts itself with a firm structure and tannins that lean toward velvety, expressing a very fine grain. This is a wine with a solid frame and great longevity.

FOOD PAIRING

Beef prime rib, braised lamb, feathered or furred game. For a more adventurous pairing, consider monkfish or tuna steak with red wine sauce. It also goes well with Epoisses, Chambertin and Cîteaux cheeses.
