HARVEST
At Madame Veuve Point, the harvest is much more than a simple collection; it embodies a moment of deep connection with nature.
Two magnificent and intense seasons pass before the grapes reach full maturity, ready to be picked. The harvest traditionally begins around September 15, a key period where know-how and patience are essential.
In Burgundy, balance is crucial: it is about harvesting ripe fruit without excess, in order to preserve beautiful acidity while achieving optimal phenolic maturity. This careful balance ensures refined and harmonious tannins.
For years, we have forged special relationships with passionate and expert winemakers. Adhering to our strict specifications and the sustainability of these partnerships ensures us, each year, a harvest of exceptional quality. These valuable connections enable us to select the best grapes.
The harvest starts at dawn, taking advantage of the morning freshness to preserve the delicate aromas of the fruit. The clusters are carefully picked and transported with care to our cellars in Beaune, where the art of winemaking begins.
In Burgundy, the end of the harvest is marked by lively and joyful traditions. Before savoring the traditional Paulée, a noisy ritual animates the vineyards: after the last cut of the shears, our harvesters celebrate by walking through the vines and streets, honking and singing.
Thus, Burgundy, just like Madame Veuve Point, perpetuates its traditions, blending history, conviviality, and craftsmanship.
