The nose is classy, wonderfully elegant and utterly pure, revealing concentrated aromas of red and black pinot fruit aromas plus layers upon layers of spices, including sandalwood, anise, soy, hoisin and a strong note of minerality. The linear but no longer severe flavors are concentrated as well with finer tannins than usual and the intensity is almost painful. This is not a powerful wine but it is certainly an elegant Cros that possesses impeccable balance that should permit it to age for 2 decades, perhaps longer. In sum, this is really a wonderful Cros where I have enjoyed consistent results. Try from 2014+.

Moderately saturated medium red. Rather reticent on the nose, hinting at berries and spices. Supple, sweet, tangy and stylish, but less shapely and complex today than the Echezeaux, with a bit less oomph and depth of flavor. But finishes with sneaky length. The yield was 22 hectoliters per hectare, says Rouget.
