"The 1988 Cros Parantoux from Monsieur Jayer is an outstanding bottle of red Burgundy that is starting to drink very well indeed, but still has decades of life ahead of it and may well offer up more generosity on the palate with a bit more bottle age. The superb nose wafts from the glass in a blend of crushed raspberries, red currants, fresh thyme, beautifully complex minerality, orange rind, sous bois, cinnamon, woodsmoke and cedar. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish, long and intensely flavored, with a good core, tangy acids, fine focus and grip and a very long, complex and transparent finish that still sports a bit of tannin and excellent grip. . . .the wine is outstanding and very much representative of its vintage and glorious terroir."

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.
