2023 Domaine Emmanuel Rouget Vosne Romanee 1er Cru "Cros Parantoux"

Note: from a .70 ha parcel of 55+ year old vines that is now worked exclusively by horse. An exuberantly fresh and spicy nose is comprised mostly of the essence of red cherry, soy, hoisin, exotic tea and an unusual if attractive hint of citrus, particularly orange peel. The racy, delicious and delineated medium weight flavors are not especially dense but they are super-sleek and built on their minerality, all wrapped in a strikingly long, well-balanced and youthfully austere finale. Like the VRBM, this is very classy juice.*Burghound Outstanding!*
