Domaine Parent, Beaune Les Epenottes Brut Zero Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit

Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit with some licorice and truffle are all present in this dense purple wine

subtle decay

The bunches on average were loose and the berries small

I very much like the power and intensity to the concentrated yet refined medium weight flavors that display evident minerality on the beautifully textured if slightly short finish that is ever-so-mildly youthfully austere

Domaine Parent, Beaune Les Epenottes Brut Zero Black cherry and blackcurrant fruit(from two parcels of vines one of 60+ year old vines and the other from 30+ year old vines). Touches of wood toast and earth frame the bright essence of red pinot fruit. The succulent, round and easy going flavors are at once delicious and refreshing before concluding in a slightly toasty and sneaky long finish. This too should drink well on the earlier side if thats your preference. (87 90) 2022+
