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.
An emblematic figure of Burgundy, Corton Grand Cru is an appellation produced in the towns of Aloxe Corton, Ladoix-Serrigny and Pernand-Vergelesses. The terroirs of ‘la montagne des Corton’ have the astonishing ability to produce structured wines that are perfect for long aging.
TASTING NOTES
Elegant and sophisticated, round, powerful, full-bodied and generous, white Corton Grand Crus are rare in a white in this vintage. It possesses a nice light gold appearance with green highlights. It marries notes of citrus with butter, vanilla, spices and flint.
FOOD PAIRINGS
This Corton Grand Cru pairs naturally with seafood, crayfish and other fish. Cassoulette of veal sweetbreads and Supreme of Chicken with morel mushrooms will work well too. Also worth trying with goats cheese.
