Vosne Romanée Cros Parantoux, Méo Camuzet 2024

A marked more restrained nose is nonetheless perfumed and very pretty with its combination of mostly red berries and floral hints. Like The Brûlées, the medium wight flavours possess a stunning texture that is even more mineral driven before concluding in an overtly austere , compact and hugely long finale. This is really quite classy and I very much like the fine balance.

2.5 barrels made. Glowing ruby purple. Very heady on the nose without being over ripe or over rich. Cros Parantoux takes the early lead over Brûlées. Tension too is indicated. There is no doubt about the nobility of this wine, with red and black fruit entwined. The finish offers good acidity, while less tannic than some of the Meo-Camuzet reds, with quite some persistence. Drink from 2032-2040.
