Emmanuel Rouget 2014 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux

A wine from the nephew of the Wine God (Henri Jayer). This is my first time trying this domaine. In my view, Méo-Camuzet’s Cros Parantoux leans more feminine and delicate, while Emmanuel Rouget’s style is more like “a sea of stars and a sky of galaxies”—more structural, more spirited, with an air of chivalrous boldness.

2014 should be a relatively approachable vintage, but indeed the first glass showed very tight tannins, vibrant and layered acidity, a pronounced herbaceous/green note, earthy minerality, very fresh and natural, with a bright and clean quality. The structure wasn’t broad or massive, but rather deeply intricate, precise, and penetrating.

After 1 hour of aeration, wild strawberry emerged, along with a mineral sense of wet earth after rain in the forest. Floral notes were not yet obvious; I looked forward to its further evolution.

After 2 hours open, the nose was no longer about thick jammy fruit, but a mix of different spices—like scattered starlight in a river of stars: cool, shimmering, accompanied by rose petals, wild strawberries, and the cool limestone minerality. The aromas don’t hit you head‑on but slowly unfold in the nasal cavity like the Milky Way. Once fully opened, I experienced its signature “silver bead of acidity.” The tannins are incredibly fine, like velvet, and the wine floats on the tip of the tongue—not heavy, but like silk gliding across the night sky. That concentrated mineral energy strikes the palate instantly, then dissolves into a long, lingering finish. The aftertaste lasts for tens of seconds, carrying notes of sandalwood, dried tangerine peel, and damp earth.

Half‑drunk, I felt as if I were drifting into a dream beneath the starry river. — 8 days ago

Garnet color which is an evidence to well-matured. Oak and complex aroma. Red and black berry flavor. Leather. Enough tanning. Good balanced. Enjoyable vintage taste which is well-mixed with fruitiness. One hour later, 2nd glass has much gentle. Mushroom, complexity. 2nd day, much better with oily flavor!

Tasted over 3 days. The first day the substantial soft tannins obscured the fruit I expected in this Pomerol, the second night the tannins softened but still present, but the third night the wine opened and just as the third bowl of porridge was “just right”. Best to hold any 2020 bottles 3-5 years for thebest palate experience.

I like wines from Rouget because they don’t look, smell or taste like Pinot Noir — 5 months ago

Really beautiful, sharp and precise but round and voluptuous at the same time. Beautiful with Troisgros’ caviar dish and rouget vert (parsley sauce). — 5 years ago

Vintage 2013 | I am prejudiced. I love this Limoux. 85% Chardonnay, 15% Mauzac. Former notes apply. | Paired with rode poon from bbq (gurnard, rouget) with a tomato salad — 6 years ago

Nice follow up after Emmanuel Rougets Vosne Romanee 2009. This one really threw many of us off. Perhaps it was because the person who brought it slow-oxed it since morning. Anyway here goes... Very beautiful, floral, charming. Rousseau like. More fresh than the Rouget. Developing herbal notes towards the end. Guessed Mugneret Gibourg. Shocked everyone. — 8 years ago

2015 vintage. Beautiful nose, truffle galore. A delicious Pomerol, ready to drink. It would have been nice to taste the grand vin next to it, because sometimes you wonder if the second wine turns out to outperform the grand vin. — 3 months ago

This was lovely. Reductive at first, but later revealing delicate pomegranate, blood orange, dried flowers and juicy acidity. Very expressive, relatively clean style (a bit mousy on the finish) at a modest price point. One to seek out for sure. — 8 years ago
