"With some coaxing, the 2017 version of Cros Parantoux eventually starts to offer up a promising nose of red and black raspberries, Vosne spices, duck, a complex base of minerality, cedary new oak and lovely upper register smokiness. On the palate the wine is suave, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a sappy core, beautiful backend mineral drive, ripe, seamless tannins and a long, tangy and perfectly balanced finish. I miss the old days, when I used to drink quite a bit of Cros Parantoux."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
2017 in Burgundy delivered generous yields and fresh, elegant wines; the whites are especially fine, bright and precise, while the reds are charming, supple and aromatic, drinking well relatively early.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
