Cros Parantoux is a premier cru in Vosne-Romanée, the commune that contains Romanée-Conti and five other grands crus alongside a remarkable collection of named premier cru *climat*s. The site is small — approximately 2.44 ha of registered holdings — but its reputation far exceeds its size.
The story of Cros Parantoux is inseparable from Henri Jayer. Before Jayer acquired his parcel and planted it in the early 1950s, the land had long been used for growing Jerusalem artichokes, considered too difficult for vines. Jayer's meticulous winemaking — low yields, careful cellar work, new oak — transformed the *climat* into one of the most sought-after premier crus in Burgundy. His wines from Cros Parantoux now command prices that rival or exceed many grands crus.
Pinot Noir, red only. Total registered holdings approximate 2.44 ha. Premier cru regulations apply: minimum 9,000 vines per hectare, yields capped around 45–48 hl/ha.
- Domaine Emmanuel Rouget (0.72 ha) — Jayer's nephew, who inherited parcels and continues the tradition - Domaine Rouget (0.72 ha) - Henri Jayer (0.72 ha) — the estate that defined the *climat*'s reputation; wines now only available at auction - Domaine Méo-Camuzet (0.28 ha) — worked with Jayer under a métayage arrangement before his retirement
