Madam Veuve Point Pommard 2015

Ruby purple with mauve gleams, its appearance recalls the words of Victor Hugo: “It’s the battle between day and night!” We find aromas in the nose which are typical of Pinot Noir: of blackberries, blueberries, cherry, currants, chocolate, pepper and cocoa. The texture is full, the structure delicate and assertive. The full marriage of Pinot Noir and the wood make it an elegant wine, clean and with a long finish. Beef steak, lamb or stewed poultry will appreciate the texture of its tannins and its concentrated aromas. It naturally appreciates the company of cheeses with well-developed tastes: Époisses, Langres, as well as Comté or stewed poultry will go well with the texture of its tannins and its concentrated aromas. It naturally appreciates the company of full-flavored cheeses: Époisses, Langres, and also Comté.

Pommard: this generous name sounds good. It fills the glass and the mouth all by itself. Located in Côte de Beaune, between Beaune and Volnay, Pommard, its vintages and beautiful homes demarcate the place where the Côte slopes slightly on the Autun side. The land formerly belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy, to religious establishments such as the Abbey of Cîteaux, and to old families like the Marey-Monge. Since the Middle Ages, Pommard was seen as “the flower of the wines of the Beaunois”. The processed vintage is 100% Pinot Noir.
