Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1999

Henri Jayer’s Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux is the epitome of what Pinot Noir can offer. Hailing from Burgundy, this wine is both delicate and powerful, crafted by the legendary Jayer. The 1999 vintage is particularly exceptional, and opening it now allows you to experience its full maturity.

In 'Drops of God', Volume 32, this wine was part of a compelling conversation between Shizuku and Nakata. Their discussion highlighted just how unique and special this wine truly is. Recalling that scene makes you want to reach out for a bottle yourself.

Pour it into a glass, and you’ll notice a garnet hue starting to develop. The aroma is fully open, with rich notes of dried plums and black cherries. These are layered with hints of violets and mushrooms, adding to its complexity.

On the palate, the wine bursts with lush fruit flavors, the acidity is vibrant, and the tannins have a velvety texture. This is what aged Pinot Noir is all about. The finish is long, making it the perfect time to enjoy this bottle.
