Domaine Parent Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnieres 2015 750ml
Domaine Parent Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnieres 2015 750ml
Domaine Parent, located in Pommard, in the heart of Côte d’Or, is today run by Anne Parent and her sister Catherine Fages-Parent, representing the 12th generation, and perpetuating a family tradition dating back to the 17th century. In 1787, Etienne Parent had friendly and professional connections with Thomas Jefferson who was to become the 3rd President of the United States. He then became a forerunner of Burgundy wine exportations across the Atlantic. At the beginning of 19th century, Claude Parent left Volnay, the family cradle, to settle in Pommard and to build Domaine Parent in 1803. In 1947, Jacques Parent, then 19 years old, began working with his father Maxime. He then took over the management of the Domaine in 1953, and triggered an innovative impetus. Indeed, Domaine Parent was one of the first estates of Côte d’Or which sold all its production in bottles, in France on the best tables of French gastronomy, and overseas as well. Jacques Parent’s will to work and ensure the continued existence of this family property allowed him to pass on the family estate calmly to his two daughters Anne and Catherine in 1998.
Critical Acclaim
92 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pommard 1er Cru Les Charponnières, which contains 50% whole cluster fruit, has an elegant, quite intense bouquet with expressive dark cherry and red plum notes, an underlying mineralité that becomes more apparent with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple ripe tannin, good body, perhaps requiring a little more precision on the finish, but that may come with time. Yet another simply delicious Pommard in the making from this domaine.
