Madame Veuve Point Pommard is a dry red Pinot Noir from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, presented here in the 2020 vintage. 🍷 With 13% alcohol and a 750ml bottle, it suits a leisurely meal when you want a red with presence, savoury interest and enough structure to stand beside rich food. The name on the label identifies the village appellation, a useful detail when choosing among the maison’s Burgundy wines.
The producer describes a generous berry character, with cherry, blackberry and blackcurrant alongside pepper and cocoa. Oak ageing brings these elements together, while the palate combines a rounded feel with firm tannins and a long finish. 🍒 Expect a more substantial expression of Pinot Noir: the appeal lies in the balance between fruit and structure, especially once there is food on the table.
Madame Veuve Point Pommard comes from clay and limestone terrain. The maison harvests and sorts the grapes by hand, then makes and matures its wines in Beaune. Its published guidance describes oak maturation lasting 12–18 months. This careful approach gives the fruit room to develop while adding depth to the finished wine.
Serve at 16–18°C with beef fillet, herb-crusted lamb, mushrooms or stewed poultry. 🧀 Comté is another producer-recommended match. Start with a modest pour and follow how the glass changes through dinner; broad Burgundy glasses are a practical choice for exploring the aromas. For a gift, it is particularly suited to someone who enjoys food-focused French reds.
Madame Veuve Point Pommard also carries a family story led today by Géraldine Point. The famous 1904 award celebrated Jeanne-Marie Point’s Pouilly-Fuissé. The 2020 vintage earned a Bronze medal at the International Wine Challenge 2026, providing an independent competition result alongside the wine’s Burgundy identity.
