Madame Veuve Pont was born into a winemaking family. At the age of 26 in 1903, she became a widow. After her husband's passing, she dedicated herself to winemaking while striving to care for her children. She relentlessly pursued excellence, determined to establish herself in a wine industry where female winemakers were largely overlooked. In 1904, she embarked on a six-month voyage to the United States with her family's Burgundy wines to participate in the St. Louis World's Fair. There, she won the “Grand Prix d'Excellence” award! This victory laid the groundwork for her future success.

【Region】

Now led by fifth-generation female proprietor Géraldine Point, the estate remains firmly in female hands—dedicated to crafting elegant wines with a feminine touch! In recent years, multiple wines from the estate have begun earning awards and high scores! Beyond recognition from numerous international women's wine competitions, the International Wine Challenge, and Wine Enthusiast, the estate's Volnay Premier Cru Clos de Chenes 2019 even achieved a Decanter Platinum rating of 97 points!! Such high scores reveal boundless potential~

【Winemaking】

The winery's use of oak barrels is exquisite. To avoid overpowering the grapes' natural aromas with an overly strong oak flavor, they use no more than 10% new barrels and employ a blend of oak and stainless steel tanks. During aging, the new barrels absorb a significant amount of wine—a phenomenon known as "the angels share." The winery pays close attention to this detail, continuously adding wine to prevent excessive oxidation and maintain a pure, feminine house style that reflects the unique terroir. Depending on the wine, aging in barrels lasts 10-24 months.
