The Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux Henri Jayer 1993 is an exceptionally rare Premier Cru red Burgundy, crafted by the legendary Henri Jayer, who transformed this vineyard into mythical status. Despite 1993 being a challenging vintage, Jayer`s unparalleled skill produced a wine of remarkable purity and focus that defied the era`s broader reputation. It displays a complex aromatic profile of red berries, sour cherry, forest floor and earthy, spicy notes. On the palate, it is precise and taut, with vibrant acidity and fine tannins, showcasing a lean yet intensely flavoured and age-worthy expression that continues to evolve gracefully.
The 1993 Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux 1er Cru was purchased off the list at La Gavroche in Mayfair, initially bought on release by Albert Roux at some incomprehensible small sum. I have been lucky enough to have this vintage two or three times now, since first my first encounter in January 2016. This bottle is almost exactly the same as the last, which is unsurprising. It has a very intense bouquet that is so perfumed and intoxicating that your senses are immediately seduced – predominantly red fruit, mulberry and pressed flowers, perhaps this a touch more violet than iris. The palate has a satin-like texture, mineral-driven and, perhaps, less understated than many 1993 red Burgundies are these days. The finish has a sense of piquancy and displays exquisite delineation, not to mention extraordinary length. To taste this wine once was a privilege. Twice makes me almost feel guilty…almost.
