Emmanuel Rouget, Vosne-Romanee Cros-Parantoux 1er Cru, 2023
There may be no more storied 1er Cru in Burgundy than Cros-Parantoux. The vineyard was a Jerusalem artichoke patch during World War II until Henri Jayer began clearing and replanting it in 1945 - famously dynamiting the bedrock to make holes for the vines. Jayer didn't bottle it under its own name until 1978. When he retired in 2001 his entire holding - 0.72 of the vineyard's total 1.0 hectares - passed to his nephew Emmanuel Rouget, whom Jayer had been mentoring since 1976. Today Rouget's sons Nicolas and Guillaume carry the torch. The 2023 channels that legendary terroir: profound depth, exotic spice, and the kind of tension that announces a wine living on a different plane. A pilgrimage bottle. Cellar it.
