Domaine Parent 2006 Les Rugiens Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
- Cellar Selection
Initially, the red fruits dominate, exploding in the mouth. Then the tannins take over, giving a wine that is hugely structured and powerful. The fruits, though, are as impressive as the tannins, the combination giving a wine that is both juicy and smoky, finished with new wood.

Domaine Parent 2006 Les Epenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
A powerful, almost severe wine, with a strong core of dry tannins over the black fruits. There are hints of red cherry and spice from wood. The main structure dominates, and will need several years to round out.

Domaine Parent 2003 Les Rugiens Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
- Online Exclusive
Ripe, generous, powerful and opulent, the wine combines blackberry juice character with mature spice and mushroom flavors. This is a massive wine, with a gorgeous velvet texture, only a taut core of tannins. Despite moving towards a mature phase, it has many years ahead.

Domaine Parent 2004 Les Rugiens Prement Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
- Online Exclusive
A wine with a very ripe, wild strawberry character, meaty and savage. The fruits are just moving out from behind the structure, the maturity not yet coming in. An impressive wine, hinting at power.

Domaine Parent 2007 Les Epenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
Soft and ripe, with a sprinkling of pepper and spice, this is a rich, gentle wine. The tannins are open, lying under the lively black and red berry fruits. It will age over the next few years, but is not for the long-term.

Domaine Parent 2003 Les Epenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
- Online Exclusive
Very soft, very ripe and generous, the tannins showing but surrounded by fruit flavors that are now morphing into more herbal, tarry, mushroom flavors. The final spice character gives a great complementary burst of taste.

Domaine Parent 2004 Les Epenots Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)
- Online Exclusive
Showy, spicy, with fresh fruits and lightness. This is a wine more about red cherries, bright acidity and a smooth texture. The tannins form a strong core, never weighty. Not for long-term aging.
