The 1993 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux from Henri Jayer is one of those dreamlike wines you only encounter once in a while. There is a magnificent intensity to this Pinot Noir that possesses such transparency and delineation, you do not know what to do with yourself except smile. So perfumed! Mulberry dallies with red berries, a faint scent of black truffle and iris. The palate is smooth and sensual. Before I knew its identity, I suggested it might be from Lalou Bize-Leroy. Silky to the touch, the texture is so supple that it belies that structure underneath. Then the wave of minerals wash over you on the long finish, a coda of tart red cherries lingering in the mouth. Even God did not anticipate such Pinot Noir when he invented the variety. Tasted January 2016.
