Whether or not coincidentally, this is also one of Meo's lowest alcohol wines of 2006. Meo-Camuzet's 2006 Vosne-Romanee Cros Parantoux – from the upper section of that already high-elevation, small, and celebrated cru – combines the sweet black fruits and brown spices common to so many of the wines in its collection, with an enervating sense of brightness and energy; a velvet-like texture and refinement of tannins; and a sheer length that go well beyond all but one of its stable mates (namely the Richebourg). Suggestions of berry distillates, candied orange rind, and bitter-sweet herbal concentrates add allure and interest to this seamlessly rich, exuberant Pinot. There are ample, tightly-stitched tannins supporting the plush fabric of this wine, and I would wait until at least 2012 to revisit it, with the expectation of a further decade of pleasure.
