At first almost impenetrable, this 2022 Emmanuel Rouget Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux Premier Cru slowly reveals dark, tightly packed fruit wrapped in toasty, smoky reduction and a firm mineral spine. The palate is sleek and concentrated yet remarkably precise, with vibrant citrus-edged red and black berry tones and immense dry extract driving a long, structured, slightly austere finish that promises real grandeur with time. A powerful, backward young Cros-Parantoux that showcases both the intensity of the site and the generosity of the vintage without ever losing balance.

Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux Premier Cru by Emmanuel Rouget is one of Burgundy’s most coveted Pinot Noirs, from a tiny, stony, high‑altitude premier cru parcel just above Richebourg made famous by Rouget’s uncle, Henri Jayer. Typically deeply concentrated yet refined, it marries vivid red and dark berry fruit with floral, spicy and sometimes gamey complexity, supported by firm but powder-fine tannins and remarkable freshness, yielding a wine built for long aging and intense aromatic nuance.
