Burghound (95-98)(Don't Miss!) Here too there is enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. Otherwise there is breathtakingly good concentration to the broad-shouldered, succulent and lavishly rich flavors that also possess an almost haunting inner mouth perfume of spice and floral elements. There is superb power and buckets of dry extract and despite the imposing size and weight this remains refined and immaculately well-balanced on the massively long finale. I was knocked out by the potential this demonstrated but note well that it is a wine to buy and forget as this is going to need 20 to 30 years to reach its full apogee. |

Vinous (94-96)The 2017 Richebourg Grand Cru has a much more expressive and open bouquet compared directly with the Cros Parantoux: red berry fruit, undergrowth, crushed stone, tobacco and plenty of ground pebbles here. This is wonderfully detailed. The medium-bodied palate delivers fine-grained tannin. Not as deep as other vintages of Richebourg that I have encountered from the domaine, being lighter on its feet, yet it still displays good grip and a hint of graphite that lingers on the finish. Excellent. |

Decanter (99)Méo owns two parcels of Richebourg that border Cros Parantoux, mostly in Les Véroilles. The wine produced in 2019 was spectacular – among the highlights of the vintage. There is no lack of sweet red fruit, but it is very complex, with rich, earthy notes, a savoury, gamey side and a strong mineral underpinning. This is among the most transparent reflections of the terroir of Richebourg. On the palate there is a beautiful tension between fresh acidity, firm tannins and a deeply satisfying concentration of extract. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (95-97)Mid purple with a beautifully indulgent bouquet though suggesting a slight severity behind. The 2021 Meo-Camuzet Richebourg starts quietly but with intensity, then begins to open out nicely. Evidently much more to give and seems to combine the best qualities of both its Méo neighbours. High class wine! Drink from 2030-2040. |

Wine Spectator (95)A powerhouse of a wine. Combines a modern style (some toasted new oak) with pedigreed Burgundian terroir to near perfection. Thick but classy, this seductive Pinot bursts with pure and focused black and red berry character. Deep, complex yet not complicated--a sheer joy of Pinot expression. Drink now through 2010. 112 cases made. -PM |

Vinous (92-95)Good full medium ruby. More exotic on the nose than the Brulees, showing an aroma of blackberry liqueur. Large-scaled and fat but youthfully unevolved, with inky depths to its brooding, chocolatey flavor. A wine of compelling richness but not yet showing the personality of the Brulees. Broad, slow-mounting finish reveals surprisingly strong acidity (the pH here is a low-for-the-cellar 3.35). This is likely to require at least a decade of bottle aging. |

Vinous (95+)Good dark red with ruby highlights. Wonderfully high-pitched aromas of blueberry, blood orange, flowers, spices, mint and crushed stone. Powerfully mineral-driven wine, with outstanding energy and verve for the year. Stains the palate on the vibrant, weightless, extremely long aftertaste. Very classy wine, on a par with the best grand crus of this vintage. |

Burghound (94)I've had mixed experiences with this wine as some bottles seem to display noticeable volatile acidity yet others don't. I would add that that the VA is a minor nit and doesn't materially detract from the appeal of the exuberantly spicy nose that is now beginning to display just a touch of secondary character. There is excellent underlying tension to the markedly mineral-driven flavors that flash good power on the balanced and still moderately firm finale. In terms of drinkability, this is still developing and is sufficiently compact that I would suggest holding it for another 5 years or so first, and 8 to 10 would not be out of the question. |

Vinous (95-97)Meo's 2012 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux floats above the palate with lifted, beautiful precision. Intensity, structure and finesse all come together in a wine endowed with dazzling precision and nuance. Crushed rocks, mint and spices add dimensions of complexity to the dark red and black fruit. Today, the Cros Parantoux is firing on all cylinders. What a striking wine this is. |

Wine Advocate (94-96)The 2014 Vosne Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux has a really quite wondrous nose that really shows its class. Beautifully defined, very pure, very intense dark berry fruit with a seam of mineralité underneath. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, a fine seam of acidity, great depth and intensity on the finish that lingers long in the mouth. This is a classy Cros Parantoux, maybe the standout from the domaine this year. |

Vinous (95-97)(alcohol close to 14%): Bright ruby-red. Very pure aromas of black raspberry, licorice, bitter chocolate and pungent crushed-stone minerality. Boasts alluring sweetness and sexy inner-mouth perfume, with its intense dark fruit and mineral flavors enlivened by brisk acidity. Not quite as salty as the Brûlées but still boasts terrific inner-mouth tension and energy. Still a bit youthfully tight--and less charming than the Brûlées--but not at all hard. The tannins reach the front teeth. Méo harvested this fruit later than the Brûlées, and this wine will need more bottle aging for its structure to soften. A great premier cru in the making. |

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (96-99)5 Star Wine. A totally even purple across the piece. The oak is present but sitting cheerfully alongside the ripe fruit. This has dimensions that the other wines have not reached. Just enough red notes mixing in with the black. Waves of flavour! A darling of mine in 2018 says Jean-Nicolas and for the first time in barrel I find this wine to be an absolute knock-out. It came in under 14% and is going to be a quite brilliant wine in the long term. |

Tim Atkin MW (97)Extremely brambly with incense, savory spice and smoked meats, this is an exotic Vosne. There is extraordinary fruit concentration that vies with the remarkably well-tamed tannins. It's the acidity that powers the structure, and it is downright mouth-watering. Three barrels – all new oak – were made in 2020. 2024-45 |

Vinous (95-97)The 2021 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru has a compelling bouquet, mainly red fruit with hints of blueberry, pressed violet and a distant tang of shucked oyster shells. The palate is medium-bodied with finely chiselled, slightly chalky tannins, fresh and marine-influenced with a long saline finish. This shows the breeding of this Premier Cru, quintessential Cros Parantoux, a total victory over a difficult growing season. Divine. Two and a half barrels produced. |

There is a wealth of great French wine outside the ‘Big 4’ (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and Rhone). The Languedoc Roussillon with it’s herby, robust Mediterranean reds, Provence with its pale, vinous roses, Loire with its flinty Sauvignons, crunchy Cabernet Francs, and endlessly fascinating Chenins, Jura with its old fashioned curiosities… the list goes on. Tradition and terroir are the veins running through them all, making French wines still the most emulated in the world.
