Emmanuel Rouget is a producer of high-end Pinot Noir from some of the most sought-after vineyards in the Côte de Nuits in northern Burgundy. The top wines are made with grapes from sites along the border of Vosne-Romanée and Flagey-Echézeaux.
Rouget began working in vineyards in 1976, when he was hired by his uncle Henri Jayer, one of the most prominent and critically lauded winemakers in Burgundy. Jayer's wines have been some of the most expensive Pinot Noir expressions and the Henri Jayer Richebourg Grand Cru is easily one of the most expensive wines in the world.

| Robert Parker | 92 RP - The Vosne-Romanee Les Beaux Monts, with its dark color and deep spicy red cherry aromas, is reminiscent of the village Vosne. However, it has even more depth, weight, and complexity. This medium-to-full-bodied wine offers layer after layer of sweet cherries and jammy raspberries, in addition to a fine finish. |

| Burghound | 93 BH - I hadn't tried this in some years and time has been reasonably good to it. This most recent bottle did flash a hint of volatile acidity on the spicy nose where the mostly red berry fruit has now turned toward the secondary. There is better than average richness in the context of what is typical for the vintage to the well-delineated middle weight flavors that exhibit excellent minerality on the balanced, linear and focused finale. To my taste this is now basically ready though it should hold at this plateau for years. I would further observe that the VA is not intrusive though at the same time, it's not a plus. |
