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.
The Meursault vineyard occupies the southern part of the Côte de Beaune and extends over gentle slopes. The vineyard finds its excellence in its limestone soils, creating some of the best Chardonnay wines in the Côte de Beaune!
TASTING NOTES
Its golden appearance, clear and brilliant, is accompanied by silvery highlights. On the nose you'll find notes of almond, grilled hazelnuts, butter and honey, white flowers (hawthorn, elder, fern, linden, and verbena) and mineral (flint). In the mouth, the combination is structured around a rich, full body with flavors of hazelnut and toasted bread. There is an excellent balance between fullness and freshness.
FOOD PAIRING
This wine has the breadth to accompany poultry and meats in cream sauce. It pairs perfectly with shellfish, both grilled and in sauce such as shrimp or lobster. Blue cheeses and foie gras are an excellent match too.
