Emmanuel Rouget, Vosne-Romanee 2006

CRITIC REVIEWS

David Schildknecht

Rouget alludes to the aromas of his 2006 Vosne-Romanee Cros Parantoux as "tres particulaire," and you can say that again! Cassis, black raspberry, licorice, musk, toasted pistachio, ginger, and white pepper amaze the nose, followed by an implosive palate concentration that incorporates stony, chalky, and somehow ore-like mineral essences. The sense of sappy cling and invigorating, vibratory impingement of spice and mineral matter here left both my salivary and adrenal glands pumping. This fissionable vinous material should be cellared for at least half a dozen years and then vigilantly followed for at least a further decade.

Lightish crimson. Pungent. Too sweet to refresh. Just the right side of overripe. Lots of luscious fruit here. But it has (just) enough vitality too. Hint of creamed coconut. A bit strict for a burgundy!
