The 1991 Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux 1er Cru has a beautiful bouquet with undergrowth-infused red fruit, crushed stone and pressed rose petals. It demands more coaxing than the 1993 but it repays in terms of its intensity. The palate has exquisite balance, quite powerful, and is a little oakier than the 1993. Yet the 1991 is extremely youthful, with cashmere tannin on the seductive and plush finish. It is a sublime Cros-Parantoux even if the 1993 has more charm.
About the producer
The wines of Henri Jayer (1922-2006) have mythical status in Burgundy. Coveted by many but tasted by just a precious few, they are some of the region’s rarest and most desirable – considered by some to be the pinnacle of what can be achieved with Pinot Noir.
