Domaine Parent, Pommard Premier Cru (Burgundy, France) 2014

Domaine Parent, a top producer based in Pommard, has made a great array of wines in 2014.  While many 2014 reds are forward and charming, Parent’s Les Epenots has structure and balance that will reward years of cellaring.  A blend of grapes from both Les Grands Epenots and Les Petites Epenots, it has the power you’d expect from Pommard and grace more usually associated with Volnay.  It’s long and mineraly.  In short, a captivating young wine.
