About This Wine
Henri Jayer rescued Cros Parantoux, a Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru, from abandoned scrubland and made it one of the most expensive red wines in Burgundy.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Red berries and plum, rose, sous-bois, sweet spice and a hint of coffee.
- Palate: Silky, with red fruit, savoury spice and resolved tannin.
- Finish: Gentle and lingering, with earth, dried flowers and sweet fruit.
Serving & Food
Stand the bottle upright for a day, then decant gently just before serving at 15 to 16°C in a large Burgundy glass. Serve with roast partridge or veal and morels.
Good to Know
Is it ready to drink? Yes. Drink now. It's led by perfume and silky texture.
What should I check? Bottle condition and provenance matter a great deal at this age.
