Pommard AOP 1er Cru Les Chaponnières 2022 Parent

What kind of wine it is

Pommard 1er Cru Les Chaponnières by Parent is a red wine produced in Burgundy from Pinot Noir grapes. This label reveals a fruity and spicy profile sustained by a structured and well-defined texture. Careful vinification and aging in oak barrels shape a full and balanced style. The result is a sip with elegant tannins and a long, lingering finish.

Where it comes from

The grapes come from the municipality of Pommard, located within the renowned Côte de Beaune region. The vineyards sink their roots into clay-limestone soils, a geological composition that favors the deep development of Pinot Noir. This specific soil matrix makes a decisive contribution to the wine’s characteristic defined tannic structure and a clear fruit expression that faithfully reflects its place of origin.

How it is produced

The production process begins with a careful manual harvest, followed by a pre-fermentation maceration phase conducted at low temperature for three to five days. Fermentation then occurs at controlled temperature for eighteen to twenty days. Finally, the wine matures through fourteen to sixteen months of aging in partially new oak barrels, a step that stabilizes the entire structure.

Tasting notes

To the eye, the wine reveals a vivid ruby red color. The olfactory profile opens with distinct spicy hints of licorice harmoniously linked to fragrant notes of strawberry and cherry. On the palate it proves generous and full as it envelops the mouth with a well-defined structure and steady balance. The tasting experience ends with a clean and persistent finish supported by an underlying decisiveness and elegance.

Food pairings

This red pairs perfectly with structured dishes and becomes the ideal companion for recipes based on red meats and various kinds of game. Its spicy component and mouthfeel integrate well with roasts and braised dishes that require prolonged cooking. The wine’s lingering taste can balance the richness of the most succulent dishes, guaranteeing a harmonious pairing from start to finish.

When to serve it

Ideal for important dinners or convivial occasions focused on meat menus, this wine stands out as a highly reliable choice. Thanks to its maturation in wood, it boasts significant aging potential, allowing it to be cellared for further evolution of its aromas. It is particularly suitable when seeking a glass with a structured profile capable of providing a consistent tasting presence.
