92/95 Allen Meadows, Inside Burgundy
A cooler and slightly fresher nose reflects notes of ripe dark berries, exotic tea, soy, clove, star anise and discreet but not imperceptible wood. There is lovely cut and minerality to the tension-filled and attractively textured medium weight flavors that conclude in a focused, powerful, youthfully austere and noticeably warm finale. Like the Echézeaux, I would describe this as impressive but nonetheless, atypical vintage for this incredibly storied wine. Outstanding.
93/95 William Kelley, Wine Advocate
Rouget produced nine barrels of the 2019 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, and it was here, he told me, that he began his harvest in the Côte de Nuits. Unfurling in the glass with notes of cherries, rose petals, smoke, warm spices and toasty new oak, it's full-bodied, velvety and layered, with a rich, textural profile, underpinned by lively acids and youthfully chalky tannins. While it's still a very powerful Cros Parantoux, it's less extreme in profile than this year's Echézeaux.
