Winemaker Anne Parent:
One of the most respected and well-known winemakers in all of Burgundy, the Domaine Parent moved from Volnay to Pommard in 1803. One of their early customers was Thomas Jefferson, who brought these wines back to America to share with our forefathers.
Anne is a lawyer by training. Along with her sister, Catherine, she took over the estate in 1998, thus becoming the 12th generation of winemakers in this family. The wines simply get better and better each year. Anne has incredible energy and drive. In fact, she founded the Women’s Winemaker Association in Burgundy and was its first president.
Anne makes truly expressive wines in the traditional Burgundian style. She says that there are no bad vintages, just bad winemakers. Furthermore, she says that the great winemakers can make good wine in any year; they may just have to make less of it in a difficult year. Anne Parent is a top winemaker who makes great wines that show incredible depth, complexity, and balance.
Tasting Notes:
The nose is full of yellow peach and hawthorn notes. It is mineral, based on a softly toasted bread background. This wine is crunchy, full bodied and generous, while remaining quite fresh and subtle. A rare Chardonnay appellation, which is a real delight. To be served young.
