Reviewed January 2023Extremely brambly with incense, savory spice and smoked meats, this is an exotic Vosne.
There is extraordinary fruit concentration that vies with the remarkably well-tamed tannins.
It's the acidity that powers the structure, and it is downright mouth-watering. Three barrels
– all new oak – were made in 2020. 2024-45. (CC)

Vinous
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru has a compelling bouquet, mainly red fruit with hints of blueberry, pressed violet and a distant tang of shucked oyster shells. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled, slightly chalky tannins, fresh and marine-influenced with a long saline finish. This shows the breeding of this Premier Cru, quintessential Cros Parantoux, a total victory over a difficult growing season. Divine. Two and a half barrels produced. (NM)

No deeper in colour, perfumed in a stricter form, more savoury than the rules. I am interested to see the Brûlées/ Cros Parantoux rivalry in a cooler year again. Of the two this year, Cros Parantoux is tighter and tenser afterwards, with good acidity, such a different structure. Very fine again. Drink from 2030-2038.

Note: 60+ year old vines
A wonderfully fresh, restrained, distinctly cool and superbly elegant nose features a wonderful array of spices along with violet, red cherry, dark currant, plum and rose exotic tea. The focused, refined, delineated and powerful medium-bodied flavors are shaped by exceptionally fine-grained tannins on the palate soaking, mineral-driven, serious and very compact finale. This explosive effort is very classy but make no mistake, it will most of a decade to even be approachable and somewhere around 15 years to reach its peak.
*Burghound Don't Miss! Outstanding!*
