Juteux, crémeux avec une allonge à la fois sensuelle et profonde, ce Château Rouget possède déjà beaucoup de charme. Une belle réussite.

The 2016 Rouget was showing a lot of opulence and decadence on the nose with layers of ripe blueberry and crème de cassis scents. The palate is sweet and slightly bitter on the entry. Plenty of saturated tannin here and very structured, but this Rouget needs more freshness and tension towards the finish. It is an ambitious Pomerol for sure, but it seems to be pushing down too hard on the accelerator. I tasted this Rouget three or four times just seeking a sample that articulated the terroir with a little more clarity. Let's see how it performs once in bottle.

Floral and black raspberry notes are the first things you notice here. This lush, silky, medium-bodied wine is satisfying with fruit-infused cocoa in a round finish.

(95 Merlot, 5 Cabernet Franc) Very aromatic and a little bit leafy, too, this is a nicely balanced wine with rich fruit and a long, harmonious finish. 17+

This is a plump wine with freshness and clarity of fruit, even on the nose. There are beautiful red fruits, definitely not as upfront as some, but it is authentic and vibrant and you can feel the juice coursing through the tannins. It is restrained on the finish, with a subtle, pure succulence. Drinking Window 2025 - 2045

Sister property to Dom Jacques Prieur. Deep, dense crimson. Heady, meaty, very Pomerol. Sweet palate entry and then very rich. Almost too rich! But certainly dramatic. All on the beginning – goes a tad scrawny on the end. Stereotypical Rolland style.

A red with a full body, round and juicy tannins and plenty of fruit. It's got plenty ahead for its transformation in barrel. Excited with this one. Better than the 2015.
