Chablis Blanc 2022 AOP Madame Veuve Point

Madame Veuve Point

Chablis Blanc (Chardonnay) 2022

Burgundy, France

With 25 000 hectares of vineyards, Burgundy is one of the most mysterious and hard-to-reach corners of the wine world. The Madame Veuve Point Winery is located in one of these famous vineyards. Named after Jeanne Marie Point, the inspirational female winemaker known as the Lady of the Vine, who was widowed at the age of 26 (veuve is French for widow) and who, after her husband’s death in 1903, devoted herself to her son and his Burgundy vines. Despite her dedication, she was not accepted by other winemakers in her village because she was a woman. Despite this, or perhaps because of it, Madame Veuve Point decided to prove herself in style. In 1904, one of her wines won the top prize at the St. Louis World’s Fair in the United States. This recognition finally brought her the reputation she deserved on the other side of the Atlantic, as well as at home.

Madame Veuve Point’s great-granddaughter, Géraldine Point, now runs the family business, which produces quality Burgundy wines in close collaboration with some of the region’s great winemakers.

The vineyard of Chablis Longe, near Auxerre in the department of Yonne, is located along a small river. This area has been able to maintain its incredible reputation throughout its history to the present day thanks to the high quality of its Chardonnay vineyards, the earliest traces of which date back to Roman times.

Among the wines of Madame Veuve Point, there are many that deserve special attention. For example, the 2022 vintage Chablis Blanc, made from 100% Chardonnay grapes.

A light, rather dry white wine. Pale gold colour with green reflections. The lovely flinty mineral notes typical of the Chablis region really shine through in this classic, oak-free Chardonnay, alongside the typical notes of green apple and lemon. It will enchant your palate with its perfect balance, freshness and long finish. A truly elegant and lively lot.

It is recommended with poultry and veal dishes, spicy dishes and fish sauces. Served with seafood platters or goat cheese, it is a perfect delicacy.
