Producer
Emmanuel Rouget is Henri Jayer's nephew, trained under the master and now the steward of the most famous Premier Cru vineyard in Burgundy. Cros Parantoux was rescued from brambles by Jayer in the 1950s and has since become one of the reference wines of Vosne-Romanée. The wines produced here under Rouget's stewardship are among the most consistently exceptional in the appellation.

Mystic primary — Cros Parantoux represents something beyond terroir — it is a living monument to what one person's vision can create in a specific place. The transformation of this vineyard from bramble to legend is the most compelling story in Burgundy. Dawn secondary — the precision and elegance with which Rouget handles these wines reflects the finest tradition of Burgundian craft.

    97-99 points, Neal Martin, Wine Advocate

    The 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, raised entirely in new oak, has a very clean and precise, yet incredibly intense bouquet, layers of red and black fruit loaded with minerals, all with wonderful precision. The palate is extremely precise, perhaps one of the nose I have encountered in recent years, with laser-like focus, perfect acidity and a gentle grip on the Richebourg-like finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a stunning Cros Parantoux, stunning. (NM)

    The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, of which there are seven barrels this year, has a beautifully defined bouquet, very pure and precise with wild strawberry, limestone, rose petal and a touch of blood orange. You miss a heartbeat just nosing this wine. The palate is precise, refined and very pure, a silver bead of acidity, so much energy on the finish as it fans out in graceful fashion. There is incredible persistence here, a brilliant Cros Parantoux with which Uncle Henri would have been proud. [Neal Martin, 09/28/2017]
