Château RougetPomerol 2009
About this product
Château Rouget is a classical Pomerol property that can claim a great history within the appellation. Sitting in the northern extremes of Pomerol, the estate is planted with a mix of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc on sandy soils. Known for producing wines of austerity and clarity, the 2009 vintage has bestowed a plushness and roundness not often seen here. Attractive and enjoyable early with flavours of plum juice, and liqueur cherry this a Merlot dominant wine that will continue to look bright and delicious for the next 7-10 years.

This opulent, sexy 2009 Rouget is composed of primarily Merlot blended with a touch of Cabernet Franc. Sandy, loamy soil notes interwoven with kirsch and Provencal garrigue jump from the glass of this full-bodied, opulent, rich Pomerol. Abundant fruit on the attack, mid-palate and finish characterize this over-achiever. Consume it over the next 15 years.
