Product Overview
Importer's Notes:
"Along with her sister Catherine representing the 12th generation, Anne Parent has taken over the Domaine from their father, Jacques. The Parents have been in burgundy since the 17th century and corresponded with Thomas Jefferson for many years.
The vineyards have been certified organic since 2013 and are working on biodynamic certification. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration."
Anne Parent is one of my favorite people on the planet and we have become good friends over the years, and 2020 was her 23rd harvest. I refer to her as the “Queen of Pommard”".
Varietal Composition: 100% Pinot Noir
Appellation: Pommard 1er Cru AOC
Vineyard Designation: Les Epenots
(91-93) Points - Vinous
"The 2018 Pommard Les Epenots 1er Cru is a blend of Grand and Petit Epenots, including 45% whole-cluster fruit and matured in 45% new French oak. It has a very perfumed bouquet of raspberry, wild strawberry, crushed stone and undergrowth aromas that gain intensity with time. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins framing the sappy red fruit. There is good density here, more so than in Parent’s other Premier Crus. A little chewy toward the finish, suggesting that this will be a long-term Pommard. Patience required." -NM, Nov/2019
