Domaine Parent was founded in Pommard in 1803. It’s now run by the indefatigable Anne Parent and her sister, Catherine, representing the 12th generation of family winemaking tradition. Together, they farm close to 10 hectares in the Côte de Beaune. The Volnay Premier Cru Taillepieds vineyard is just south of the village, between the village and the Premier Cru Clos des Chênes vineyard. 2014 was far from an easy growing season, as a hail storm swept through the Côte du Beaune in late June, destroying fruit in Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune. Parent’s Volnay vines were spared; they were not so lucky with a couple of their Premier Cru Pommard vineyards. The 2014 Parent Volnay 1er Cru Les Taillepieds is an aromatic delight. Notes of red fruit, berries, currants, earth and spice waft from the glass. It’s medium bodied with a mineral backbone. The finish is complex and lengthy. It should hit its drinking plateau from 2021-2035.
