Founded in 1803 and now in its 13th generation, the domaine is run by sisters Anne and Catherine Parent - the first women to lead the estate in its history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBased in the heart of Pommard, the domaine comprises around 10 hectares, with holdings centred on the village and its leading Premier Cru sites. Under Anne Parent's direction, the estate has undergone a profound evolution in both vineyard and philosophy. A pioneering figure in Burgundy, she founded the Femmes et Vins de Bourgogne association and played a key role in advancing the recognition of climats such as Epenots.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eViticulture is now fully organic, with a long-term transition to biodynamics completed after more than a decade of careful implementation. As Parent herself notes, this is not a question of trend but of stewardship - protecting soil health, expressing terroir with clarity, and ensuring longevity for future generations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Deep soil with brown clay, marls with dolomite limestone, not too compact. Opposite Grands Epenots. 600-litre barrels and just a hint of wc used in this case. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBroad aromas – showing a hint of volatility today but this changes to a very fine perfume – that’s lovely. Clean, beautifully shaped, juicy wine. Very complex in the finish.

It has a delightful bouquet; those stems add a slight pepperiness. The 35% new oak is neatly integrated. The medium-bodied palate has pliant tannins and a little chewiness on the entry but decent weight with a pleasing sapidity on the finish. A bit rustic, but plenty of charm.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e90-92 points.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeal Martin, Vinous (January 2024)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"James Nicholson Wine Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56912744219002,"sku":"18335","price":85.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0516\/7146\/6141\/files\/Domaine-Parent-Pommard-Croix-Blanche-2022.png?v=1779368190","url":"https:\/\/highburyvintners.co.uk\/products\/domaine-parent-pommard-croix-blanche-2022","provider":"Highbury Vintners","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
