"Le Point du Jour" is again a beautiful expression of Cheverny, a blend of 20% Gamay and 80% Pinot Noir from the oldest vines of the estate planted on two types of terroir, clay and sand and sandy clay over limestone. Hand-harvested, the grapes were vinified in 70% whole-cluster, macerated for 2 weeks or so before being aged in a mix of barrels, demi-muids and foudres. Aging is short, the wine is blended in January and bottled a couple of weeks after unfiltered with minimal sulfur dioxide. The wine shows a bright black/red color with aromas of ripe cherry/berry fruits with hints of cinnamon and almond. The palate is lovely with fresh red and black fruits and silky tannins - really a lovely wine!
