LA CROIX BLANCHE - POMMARD

WINE ESTATE
• The Parent Domaine is located in Pommard since 1803. It is now managed by Jacques Parent’s daughters who perpetuate the traditions of a family of winegrowers whose origins date back to the mid-17th century. The Parent Domaine mainly produces “village” appellation wines, Premier Cru wines and Grand Cru Cote de Beaune. The wines are cultivated in a reasoned manner, with controlled yields, in compliance with the “Terroirs”. The rigorous wine-making is the demonstration of a constant search for a precise balance between strength and elegance.
