Description

Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 2019 is a 1er Cru Burgundy Pinot Noir from the Côte de Nuits. Cros Parantoux is one of the most respected 1er Cru climats in Vosne - one considered by many to be a Grand Cru in all but name. Located above the Grand Cru of Richebourg, its reputation was forged by the great Henri Jayer, who began managing plots here in the early 1950s. Jayer employed his young tractor-engineer nephew, Emmanuel Rougeot, in 1976 and the rest is history. "100% new wood. Intense purple without the black. The nose is all in the fruit, not quite so intense. The wood adds a gloss without detracting, this is all about the fruit which has a mind boggling intensity and can carry the degree easily, stretches out much further behind. Better acidity too. This is very complete and absolutely marvellous. It has unquestionably held on to its balance. Thanks to what Emmanuel Rouget calls a salivating acidity." Jasper Morris MW, 2021
