Domaine Parent : Pommard Village "La Croix Blanche" 2022

The precision and richness of a great Burgundy wine

The estate

More than a dozen generations have succeeded each other on the lands of the Domaine Parent, each contributing to the building. In the 20th century, Jacques Parent brought a breath of modernity to the estate. Today, his daughters Anne and Catherine Parent closely ensure the perpetuation of this family heritage, thus devotedly following in their father's footsteps. Adept at organic and biodynamic viticulture, Domaine Parent aspires only to express with precision the balance between power and finesse and of course the unique essence of each climate. The result is wines that, with their unique character, find their place on gastronomic tables alongside the great wines of Burgundy.

The vineyard

"La Croix Blanche" is a Pommard wine from a vineyard resting on clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and aging

After manual harvesting carried out with the utmost care, the grapes are meticulously sorted on tables, one of which is vibrating. Subsequently, the bunches are destemmed and the berries macerate cold for 3 to 5 days. Temperature control, punching down and pumping over 2 to 3 times a day accompany the vinification process. In total, the wine remains in the vat for 18 to 20 days. Then, the wine ages for 14 to 16 months in French oak barrels, 30 to 40% of which are new, before being bottled at the estate.

Blend

This Pommard Village "La Croix Blanche" 2022 from Domaine Parent is a 100% pinot noir.
