- A fruitier alternative to the Pommard La Croix Blanche with great fruit concentration. The Beaune vineyard Les Epenottes lies just across the road from Pommard's Les Epenots vineyards. This plot produces fruitier and less tannic wines than its neighbors in Pommard. Domaine Parent's Beaune Premier Cru spends 18 months aging in oak. This wine has a great ruby-burgundy color with good depth. On the nose it has rich cherry fruit aromas. The palate it dominated by powerful juicy red fruit flavors, a rich mouthfeel, and a big fruity finish. This wine is perfect with big, flavorful dishes read more...like pork roasts, venison, grilled chicken and red meat. Drink now to 2010.Pair With: Chicken, Chicken Sausage, Cold Cuts, Pork Chops/Loin, Red Meats (hide)

- Anne Parent unreservedly calls 2002 a magnificent millésime. We had small berries, exemplary cleanliness and equilibrium. It was virtually analytically perfect. We threw out less than 5% of the crop which averaged between 35 and 40 hl/ha with sugars were so good that we didn't chaptalize anything. And because the tannins were fine and the lees were extremely clean, we added back approximately 80% of the press wine, which we normally do not do, or at least not to that extent. The malos were very long and didn't finish until June and July. As to élevage, we used 50% new wood until the wines read more...were racked after the malos and then we put them into older wood. As to style, I believe that '02 is superior to '99 because the vintage has more finesse. The wines were to be filtered but not fined before bottling between March and May. (Commonwealth Wines, Boston, MA and the Chicago Wine Company, Chicago, IL; the UK agent is Charles Hawkins with additional sources in SH Jones and Decorum Vintners). Note: from two parcels of vines - one of 60+ year old vines and the other from 30 year old vines Very rich, subtly earthy and expressive if not especially elegant red fruit notes introduce ripe, structured, nicely concentrated flavors that offer good power and plenty of character while culminating in an austere finish.
