2022 Domaine Parent Bourgogne Côte d'Or Rouge "Sélection Pomone"

The stellar 2022 Sélection Pomone, with its elegance, density, and complexity, is just one example. It hits far above its weight and class. The Sélection Pomone comes from 50+ year-old vines that lie just outside of the Pommard village appellation. Anne ages it in 600-litre barrels. It’s a splendid Bourgogne Rouge and reinforces my mantra of producer, producer, producer. Yes, appellation is important, but wines with lesser pedigrees made by top producers, especially from old vines, frequently out-perform their appellation.(MA)
