(1x75cl) 2008Jancis Robinson (18)
This mythical wine still had about 10% of the malolactic fermentation to be completed. It was notably deeper than the Échezeaux with a lovely silky texture. Obviously great class of fruit – real density yet a certain irresistible flirtatiousness. Bitter cherry flavours that tightened on the finish. There are tannins here but acidity is the dominant feature and Rouget expects this vintage to mature relatively early. Madame Rouget, who stood in as host while her husband took a telephone call, told me that Henry Jayer deliberately did not seek Grand Cru status for this vineyard, however warranted it might be, to save his nephew Emmanuel and family death duties.Inc.

The 2009 Vosne-Romanee Cros Parantoux flows onto the palate with seamless fruit. This is a gorgeous, expansive wine that shows off tons of pedigree and class. The fruit builds with notable intensity and depth towards a soft, caressing finish of nearly indescribable beauty. This is a great wine from Emmanuel Rouget. The Cros Parantoux was aged in 100% new oak. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2039.Inc. TAX€8,276.26 -
(1x150cl) 2012Wine Advocate (96-98)
There are four barrels of the 2012 Vosne-Romanee 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, the famous premier cru shared with Meo-Camuzet. It has a deeper and a relatively broody bouquet when compared to the Echezeaux, and here it refuses to open up. But one can detect real mineralite, a roiling intensity below. The palate is very harmonious, with a cashmere opening. The acidity is nicely judged and cuts through the swathe of rounded, corpulent red fruit. The finish is longer than the Echezeaux, with a spicy note loitering at the tip of the tongue.Inc. TAX€7,831.46 -
(1x75cl) 2014Wine Advocate (95-97)
The 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux, of which there are seven barrels this year, has a beautifully defined bouquet, very pure and precise with wild strawberry, limestone, rose petal and a touch of blood orange. You miss a heartbeat just nosing this wine. The palate is precise, refined and very pure, a silver bead of acidity, so much energy on the finish as it fans out in graceful fashion. There is incredible persistence here, a brilliant Cros Parantoux with which Uncle Henri would have been proud.Inc. TAX€3,010.28 -
Wine Advocate (93-96)
Tasted from several barrels, the 2017 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux was showing very well, unfurling in the glass with aromas of sweet berries, dark spices, grilled meats, rich soil and rose petal. On the palate, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and concentrated with a sappy core of fruit and the vertical line that routinely marks the wines from this comparatively cool site, concluding with a long and precise finish. It's a brilliant wine.Inc. TAX€3,050.04 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-98)
(5-Star Wine) A great vintage for these cooler sites. What an explosion of fruit! A dense full but not exaggerated purple, then the wine goes back into its shell a little, but with gorgeous harmony, a match for his neighbour’s wine. How to explain all the fruits? More on the darker side but intense pinpricks of red notes too and a most harmonious, indeed blissful, finish.Inc. TAX€4,952.88 -

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru, matured in seven new barrels, is beautifully-defined on the nose with precocious, penetrating dark cherry, raspberry and violet aromas that envelop the olfactory senses. The palate is harmonious and intense, silky-smooth in texture with better acidity and tension than some of Rouget's other cuvées. Layers of penetrating, sorbet-fresh red fruit are lavish yet very focused with a long and persistant peacock's tail finish. Wonderful. 14.5% alcohol according to Emmanuel Rouget.Inc. TAX€39,833.74 -
Burghound (93-95)
(Don't Miss! Outstanding) Firm reduction renders the nose unreadable at present. Otherwise, the palate impression of the markedly intense larger-bodied flavors is a bit denser with good power and an almost pungent minerality, all wrapped in a compact and hugely long finish that is noticeably more complex. This is very promising and while the 2021 Cros won't rival the best vintages of this storied wine, it's more than respectable.Inc. TAX€2,434.13 -

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru is matured entirely in new oak. It has a brutally backward bouquet that only reluctantly begins to unfurl. I almost asked Emmanuel Rouget to run upstairs and give my glass a decant! The palate is silky smooth on the entry, beautifully focused and citrus-fresh. Blood orange and hints of crème de cassis appear towards the crystalline finish. Superb.Inc. TAX€33,734.35 -
Vinous (91-93)
(Rouget ages his crus in 100% new oak): Bright red. Aromas of redcurrant, spicy oak and violet. Dense and sappy in the mouth, offering attractive spicy lift to the cranberry and redcurrant flavors. Subtler and finer than the village wine, and showing a firm mineral underpinning, but also oakier in the early going. This will need patience.Inc. TAX€919.73 -

The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Les Beaumonts 1er Cru, matured entirely in new oak, offers a mixture of red and black fruit on a nose that is harmonious yet reserved, revealing hints of mushroom and sous-bois in the background. The lightly spiced palate is smooth on the entry, offering silky tannin and a fine bead of acidity, leading to a precise, harmonious finish. Hints of cassis and crushed stone linger on the finish. A classy Les Beaumonts.Inc. TAX€1,047.55 -

(1x75cl) 2007Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (87-89)
Medium-deep red; less ruby than the Nuits. Sappy cherry aroma lifted by a floral topnote. Suppler and finer in texture than the Nuits if a bit youthfully reserved. This boasts more concentrated fruit and spreads out nicely on the back, finishing suave and perfumed.Inc. TAX€479.82 -

The 2020 Vosne-Romanée Village has a quintessential floral bouquet with pressed violet infusing the red fruit, veins of blood orange emerging with time. The palate is medium-bodied with palpable energy. Taut and fresh, this is a Vosne-Romanée Village that displays wonderful focus and might be my pick of Rouget’s wines if price is factored in. Recommended.Inc. TAX€3,515.74 -
Vinous (89-91)
The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Village is perfumed, floral and pure on the nose with wilted violet petals infusing the red fruit - très Vosne. The palate is silky smooth with a fine body. This sample is taken from a new barrel so it has some François Frères imprint on the finish, but there is appreciable focus and length.Inc. TAX€2,236.54 -

(6x75cl) 2008Vinous (91)
Good medium red. Sexy, focused aromas of cherry, licorice, spicy oak and soil. Sweeter and lusher in the middle than the village offering, with almost claret-like blackcurrant flavor and a light touch. A round, seamless, elegant style with a smooth back end. Sweeter than the village wine but still classically dry.Inc. TAX€2,040.72 -
(6x75cl) 2012Vinous (91)
Healthy medum red. Redcurrant, coffee, sweet oak and a touch of soil-driven salinity on the nose. Sweet, concentrated and fine-grained; a step up in class and nuance from the village wines, offering a more satisfying balance between fresh fruit and saline elements. Perhaps not as sappy or imploded as the 2013 version but shows the concentration that comes from very low yields. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and building length.Inc. TAX€1,654.54 -
Wine Advocate (94)
Tasted blind, the 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées also put in a superb performance, unfurling in the glass with an attractive bouquet of ripe red berries, incense and candied peel, framed by a touch of light reduction that segues into sapid bass notes of smoked duck. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, lavish and multidimensional, with supple tannins, a dramatic core of fruit and succulent underlying acids. This is a very promising Brûlées from Domaine d'Eugénie.Inc. TAX€311.16 -
(12x75cl) 2010Vinous (89)
(bottled in December of 2011): Medium red. Reticent nose hints at red berries, licorice and mint. Then sweet and surprisingly supple on the palate, but with excellent spine to its flavors of red fruits, licorice, minerals salts and smoky oak. Nicely balanced village wine with an echoing finish--and more density than the 2011.Inc. TAX€1,755.36 -
(6x75cl) 2014Vinous (87)
(20% new oak; all destemmed): Pretty, light red. Slightly reduced aromas of cranberry and boysenberry. Juicy and firm-edged, showing a slight musky reduction but good tension to its rather light red berry flavors. More salty than fruity today, finishing with a light touch and hints of leather and game.Inc. TAX€977.74 -
(6x75cl) 2016Vinous (88-90)
(fully destemmed; 30% new oak): Healthy bright red. Inviting floral lift to the aromas of raspberry and spicy oak. Juicy, fresh, nicely delineated flavors of raspberry, strawberry and spices. Finishes with sappy, fine-grained tannins and noteworthy length. This village wine boasts very good energy without any stem influence.Inc. TAX€1,369.68 -
(6x75cl) 2017Wine Advocate (86-88)
The 2017 Vosne-Romanée Village bursts with aromas of rich cassis, plums and spices, framed by toasty new oak. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with melting tannins and a supple, easygoing profile. This will drink well young.Inc. TAX€1,101.37 -

Unwinding in the glass with notes of wild berries, spices, orange rind and licorice, the 2019 Vosne-Romanée Village is medium-bodied, lively and concentrated, with lovely depth and length. One of the more reserved communal appellations in Felettig's cellar, I suspect it will flesh out with further élevage. As readers may remember, this cuvée derives largely from prime lieu-dit Aux Jachées.Inc. TAX€110.64 -
Vinous (91-94)
(13.3 alcohol; 40% vendange entier; 80% new oak; no frost): Good dark red. A bit redder and more showy in its fruit character and less medicinal on the nose than the Petits Monts. Rounder and sweeter in the mouth, with a palate-saturating flavor of dark cherry confiture. Builds impressively on the ripely tannic back end, with a strong violet note emerging. Very different from the Petits Monts in shape and style: this is rounder while the Petits Monts is more minerally and upright.Inc. TAX€5,442.01
