The Story

Cros Parantoux is a premier cru situated in Vosne-Romanée and is now one of the most celebrated wines in all of Burgundy. Whether this is because of the world wide celebrity of Henri Jayer, or whether the quality of this site made the reputation of Henri Jayer is difficult to say but either way, it has been an extraordinary marriage for more than 50 years now. As a result, Cros Parantoux is on almost everyone’s very short list of premiers crus...

Wine Information

Written Notes

Everyone should aspire to have at least one bottle of Jayer every year, and out came a 1990 Henri Jayer Vosne Romanee Cros Parantoux.  Yes, please.  The voluptuousness of a Jayer wine cannot be understated.  The producer that comes closest today is Comte Liger-Belair.  There was so much deep purple fruit, with a hint of benevolent mushroom.  Its palate was satin city, wealthy and decadent, luscious ad honeyed.  Blue fruits came and joined the purple party, and this was so sweet and so fleshy, ‘so pleasing’ per our host.  Why not 98 again – well, as good as it was, its finish was completely integrated, perhaps seamless to some, but I always like a little bite at the end.  Our host was in the 98-point category, I would attribute his score to his initials, but HR has banned that combination (97).
