Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Rouget has a pronounced nose of stewed plums, sautéed herbs, baked black cherries and mulberries with wafts of fallen leaves and unsmoked cigars. Medium to full-bodied, the palate delivers loads of savory-laced black fruit preserves, with a chewy texture and earthy finish. (2020~2030) - WA90
GREAT TERROIRS OF POMEROL
At the end of the 19th century, a classification of Pomerol wines placed Rouget among the top five estates of the appellation. This recognition stems from the remarkable constancy showed by consecutive owners of the estate, who all worked hard to produce iconic wines. In 1992, Labruyère Family fell in love with Château Rouget. Convinced by the exceptional quality and potential of its terroir, they decided to purchase this dormant winery in order to bring it back to the forefront of the Pomerol appellation. - Information from Chateau Rouget Website
