About the Winery
Caroline Parent produces wines from a variety of family vineyards located in both Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits. Caroline’s style favors the elegance and the finesse of the wines which are anchored in the timeless tradition of Burgundy. The Caroline Parent label sees itself as a guarantee of tradition and quality. She is the daughter of François Parent and Anne Françoise Gros. Two great families of winemakers:
- The Gros family, winemakers of the Côte de Nuits, known through the prestigious appellations that are Echezeaux and Richebourg.
- The Parent family, winemakers of the Côte de Beaune, where Caroline’s father, François, perpetuates the savoir-faire of the great lineage of which he is the thirteenth winemaker
Today, little by little, room is being made for the new generation but, to make her wines, Caroline continues to place all her confidence in her father and in the other winemakers of the family. Her wines come mainly from personal or familial vines.
So as to complement these family appellations she has carefully selected some other winemakers who in her opinion best express the typicity and richness of Burgundy terroir and who work like her family with rigour and consistency.
The label with the butterfly also has its own story. Madame Janine Gros (Domaine Jean Gros), Caroline’s grandmother, entrusted her with a small notebook collection of thoughts and poems that had come to her from her mother, whose name was Yvonne.
