Domaine Parent : Pommard 1er cru "Les Argillières" 2022

A Grand, Delicate Burgundy Wine

The Estate

More than a dozen generations have succeeded each other at 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 precisely express the balance between power and finesse and, of course, the unique essence of each climate. The result is wines that, due to their unique character, find their place on gastronomic tables alongside the great wines of Burgundy.

The Vineyard

Pommard 1er cru "Les Argillières" 2019 comes from the Domaine Parent vineyard, located in the Pommard 1er Cru appellation. There, 21-year-old vines flourish on clay-limestone soil to reveal the sublime expression of Pinot Noir.

Vinification and Aging

After careful hand harvesting, the grapes are meticulously sorted on tables, one of which is vibrating. Subsequently, the bunches are destemmed and the berries macerate in the cold for 3 to 5 days. Temperature control, punch-downs, and pump-overs 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 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, 30 to 40% of which are new, before being bottled at the estate.

Blend

This Pommard 1er Cru Les Argillières 2022 from Domaine Parent is a 100% Pinot Noir.
