Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, offered here in the 2017 vintage. 🍷 The 750ml bottle has 13% alcohol and a substantial, food-friendly character. Choose it for a dinner where the wine deserves time in the glass and a place beside a carefully cooked meal. Premier Cru identifies the classification of the vineyard land; the bottle does not name an individual climat.
The producer describes dark berry and ripe plum aromas, with cherry-stone nuances and a rounded texture supported by firm tannins. With maturity, leather, pepper and roasted-coffee notes can join the fruit. 🍒 These are useful pointers to the style rather than a promise that every bottle will taste identical: storage, serving temperature and time after opening all shape the experience.
Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red comes from clay-limestone hillside terrain around Pommard. Hand harvesting and careful handling lead into winemaking at the maison’s Beaune cellar, where its technical sheet specifies 18 months in oak barrels. The result is a structured expression of Pinot Noir that invites you to pay attention to the balance between fruit, texture and savoury detail.
For serving, aim for 16–18°C and use a generous Burgundy glass. 🍽️ Grilled beef with béarnaise, coq au vin, game terrine or Beaufort cheese are matches suggested by the producer. Pour a small first glass and let the wine accompany the meal at its own pace. A tasting dinner or a gift for someone who enjoys classic French reds are fitting occasions.
Madame Veuve Point Pommard 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2017 Dry Red belongs to the family story continued by Géraldine Point. The maison’s historic 1904 Grand Prize concerned Jeanne-Marie Point’s Pouilly-Fuissé. No medal or critic score has been verified for this 2017 Premier Cru, so its origin, grape and maturation are the soundest reasons to choose it.
