From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Critical Acclaim: Burghound: 91-94 Points
"There is enough wood to notice framing the reduced nose. There is really lovely energy and fine detail to the mineral-driven delineated and powerful broad-shouldered flavors that are blessed with impressive reserves of palate coating dry extract that delivers terrific length on the austere and superbly complex finish. This is an old school Corton and will need a minimum of 8 to 10 years of cellar time to be approachable and reward 15 to 20."
About. In 1998 Anne and Catherin Parent took over Domaine Parent from their father Jacques upon his retirement. Domaine Parent covers around 10 hectares that produces about 6500 cases of wine per year close to 90% of those cases are exported. Today Domaine Parent is considered to be one of the Cote d’ Or’s best producers of Pommard 1er Cru and Corton but they also produce fine wines from Ladoix and Monthelie as well as a Bourgogne Pinot Noir that is anything but simple.
Regarding the 2012 vintage Anne Parent states "" ... I really like their freshness and energy. I would describe them as a hypothetical mix of 2009 and 2010 with the richness and generosity of the former allied with the balanced intensity and precision of the latter."""
