Tasting notes
Emmanuel Rouget's Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1999 is the epitome of Burgundy's Pinot Noir. Situated in a prime location within Vosne-Romanée, this particular vineyard, Cros Parantoux, holds a special prestige. The Rouget family continues to craft this wine, preserving the legacy passed down from Henri Jayer.
In Volume 32, this wine appears in a conversation between Shizuku and Nakata. Their discussion highlighted the complexity and depth of the wine, making their tasting experience akin to a journey through memories.
Pour a glass, and its color immediately captivates. It's a garnet hue approaching brick, with rims tinged in orange. The aroma is complex right from the start, with notes of dried herbs, tea, and sous-bois. With time, hints of black cherry begin to emerge.
On the palate, the attack is smooth, and the acidity feels silky. The tannins are velvety, harmonizing beautifully with the fruitiness. The finish is long, with lingering complex aromas. Best enjoyed without decanting to let it unfold naturally in the glass.
