2015 | Emmanuel Rouget | Vosne Romanee Cros Parantoux

Soaring from the glass with aromas of spice, wild red and black fruit, its new wood already well integrated. On the palate, the wine is gourmand, textural and full-bodied, with bottomless depth at the core, underpinned by a bright line of acidity that lends length and grace.

Reviews:

• 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.

• Burghound: Here too there is a discreet application of wood setting off the elegant, cool and airy aromas of purple fruit, plum, spice and exotic tea-scented nose. The super-sleek and beautifully well-delineated medium weight flavors are like rolling pebbles around in the mouth, all wrapped in a hugely long finish that also displays just a whisper of warmth. Interestingly, this isn't quite as concentrated as the Ech but there is more minerality and a bit more supporting acidity as well.

Producer Information

Often mentioned in the same breath as his famed uncle (the late Henri Jayer) Emmanuel Rouget is a well-regarded Burgundy producer in his own right. Having taken over the farming of the Jayer brothers' (Henri, Lucien and Georges) holdings, Rouget produces sought-after Pinot Noirs from sought-after vineyards from his base in Flagey-Echézeaux.Emmanuel Rouget first began selling wines under his own name when working as sharecropper of vineyards owned by different members of his family. In 1996 Jayer passed the vineyards to Rouget but continued to bottle some wines under his own name until his full retirement in 2001 – subsequent vintages carry Rouget's name and command ultra-premium prices, though not as high as his uncle's.
