Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1996 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. "Earthy, exceptionally ripe and slightly sombre on the nose with aromas that are just now beginning their transition from being completely primary to the first hints of secondary fruit nuances. The flavours are also ever-so-slightly austere but the intensity and purity are notable with first class elegance, superb detail and a driving, intense and relatively powerful finish. Extremely impressive and this should age for years. Tasted on multiple occasions with consistent notes." Burghound, 2018
