Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru is a powerful, elegant, and age-worthy expression of Côte de Beaune winemaking, crafted by one of Burgundy’s most historically influential families. The legacy of Madame Veuve Point began in the early 20th century when her wines earned the Grand Prize at the 1904 Saint Louis World’s Fair — establishing her as a pioneering female winemaker in Burgundy. Today, her great-great-granddaughter Géraldine Point continues this heritage through a portfolio of meticulously crafted cuvées from some of the region’s most prestigious appellations.
Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru is sourced from select plots within the village’s finest classified vineyards, where clay-limestone soils rich in iron provide structure, depth, and intensity. Vinification in stainless-steel tanks followed by careful maturation preserves purity of fruit while enhancing the hallmark power and elegance that define Pommard 1er Cru.
In the glass, the wine reveals a deep ruby-garnet color with vivid reflections. The nose opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, and ripe plum, layered with violet, forest floor, cocoa, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is rich, concentrated, and beautifully structured — offering a harmonious balance of dark fruit, firm yet refined tannins, and elegant earthy undertones. The finish is long, persistent, and complex, showcasing the aging potential that Pommard Premier Cru is known for. Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru
