2008 Parent Pommard Les Argillières

Wide, very precise and pretty – lovely aromas. Very well balanced; there is lots of depth to go with the well covered acidity. This is really super.

Higher toned. More an undertow of red fruit aromas than precise berries, but slowly it takes on more focus – very interesting. Sweetness, concentration, soft but not too plush. The tannin is well covered and then the flavours bursts through. this is lovely.

Relatively open and fine – this reminds me of the precision of 2008s – there is also a hint of earth. Full and round, just enough flavour though it’s very tight. Plenty of structure – built like a cathedral!

Magnum. Deep, dark aromas with a suggestion of mushroom – eventually precise, individual berries! Very, very young, but the mid-palate punch is well matched to the structure. Very satisfying from the mid-palate into the finish. Really a long-term wine…

Narrower aromatics, but super fruit which is ripe but not too ripe. Mouthfilling, again with ripe fruit

that is set against background tannins that still try and cling to your teeth. Very good acidity (not

acidified) and some mineral hints. Really fine for the vintage.

2006 Parent Corton Blanc

Elevaged in 60% new oak. A fine nose that’s deep and waxy. A real mouthful of concentration that lingers

very long in the finish. The acidity seems a little too understated, but comes through in mouthwatering

fashion at the end. Anne Parent suggests a good match with Turbot or grilled sea scallops!
