Emmanuel Rouget's 2015 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux is superb—and one of the high points of this great year for red Burgundy—soaring from the glass with aromas of spice, game bird and wild red and black fruit, its new wood already well integrated. On the palate, the wine is gourmand, textural and full-bodied, with bottomless depth at the core, underpinned by a bright line of acidity that lends length and grace. The cool mesoclimate of the Clos Parantoux has married to great effect with the balmy 2015 vintage.
