Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux was only slightly touched by the frost, with Emmanuel losing around 10 of the fruit, no more. Matured in 100 new oak, it has a very pure bouquet with blackberry, raspberry preserve, cold stone and hints of violet gently unfolding in the glass, not a million miles away from a Richebourg (both stylistically and geographically!). The palate is beautifully balanced with luscious red fruit coordinated with a fine line of acidity, blood orange and hints of licorice with blood orange/tangerine notes toward the sustained, pixelated finish. Superb.
Decanter
As good as the Echezeaux and Beaux Monts are, the Cros Parantoux is the king of the Rouget cellar in 2016, opening in the glass with a deep and captivating bouquet of dark wild berries, smoked duck, black tea, rich soil, spice and wood smoke. On the palate the wine is very fine-grained, full-bodied and multidimensional, built around a superbly vibrant line of acidity which sustains its gourmand core of ripe fruit. Vineyard and vintage are profoundly synergistic here.

Here too the range of spice elements is breathtakingly broad on the ripe and super-fresh aromas of dark berries, plum, tea, anise and hoisin, all of which is trimmed in just enough wood to notice. As is usually the case there is much more evident minerality suffusing the impressively concentrated and vibrant middle weight flavors that possess cuts-like-a-knife delineation on the explosively long and intensely saline finish. This is also a combination of the Vosne-Romanée Beaux Monts and Ech as it possesses the elegance and finesse of the former with the power and focus of the latter. In short, this is brilliant. *Don't miss! Outstanding*
