An elegant Vosne Romanée Cros Parantoux, with a story to tell. Formerly part of the eye-watering collection belonging to the Klosse family. a well-known Dutch family who have remained at the heart of European gastronomy for over half a century. The family were amongst the rare privileged few allowed to purchase direct from Henri Jayer, and the wines have been safely treasured in the family`s private cellar since. Widely recognised as one of the world`s most prized winemakers, here is the 1987 vintage from Henry Jayer.

The 1987 Vosne-Romanée Cros-Parantoux 1er Cru has a sensual bouquet that belies what was a mediocre growing season. Crushed strawberry mingles with rose petal, iron filings and a touch of sage and sorrel. The palate is medium-bodied, with a fine line of acidity. This feels very harmonious and surprisingly full in the mouth; yet the second half is tender rather than powerful, with a pretty, very pure, slightly tart finish. Bottles kept in ideal conditions will continue to drink well, though I cannot see any advantage on cellaring long-term. Tasted at Epure restaurant in Hong Kong.Neal Martin1st October 2018
