Domaines et Vins de Propriété - Bourgogne
ESTATE
Founded in 1988 when Anne-Françoise's parents, Jean and Jeanine Gros from Vosne-Romanée, decided to hand over some of the parcels belonging to the family domaine to her (the domaine was initially known under the name of Gros-Renaudot, followed by Louis Gros and then Jean Gros, when he inherited it). At the same time Anne-Françoise took over a domaine in Flagey-Echezaux, and then she and her husband, François Parent, bought a vineyard in Savigny-Les-Beaune.
A little later, François added some vineyards he had received from his own family in Pommard to the estate. He belongs to the 13th generation of vine-growers, and continues to perfect his skills and techniques with the aim of producing wines that display the characteristic, complex aromas of Pinot Noir. Anne-Françoise and François grouped their properties together and established the cellars and winery in Beaune.
VINE GROWERS
In 27 years François Parent has never vinifed two harvests in the same way. The same rigour and basic principles are always applied, but he also endeavours to treat each vintage on its own merits.
WINE MAKING
The Parents' primary concern is to bring out the fruit and finesse of the Pinot Noir grapes. Enemies of astringent tannins and over-concentration, they produce Pommards that are different from the traditional image of the wines of this village: they have less strength and more subtlety, and are focused on liquorice and violet aromas.
Vinification: 4-5 day cold maceration with pumping over morning and evening. Temperature is limited to a maximum of 34°C. A peak in temperature is deliberately sought. The wine is run off 4-5 days after the alcoholic fermentation.
The cap is pumped over twice a day until half the sugars have
been fermented. Then the vats are covered and the cap is broken up in the traditional manner twice a day.
A pneumatic press is used.
Ageing: totally in oak, 50% of the barrels are new and come from different suppliers to achieve a blend of scents. A harmonious blend of fruity aromas is sought. The place of honour is given to barrels made by Berthomieu.
Rousseau barrels (heavy toast) are also used.
