Château RougetPomerol 2010
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red Blend
Bordeaux, France
About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of Red BlendBordeaux, FranceThis is a producer to watch - Chateau Rouget rapidly gaining attention for unique wines sourced from an unusually sandy soil rich vineyard, and a dominance of Merlot in the blend with Cabernet Franc. The wine spends around 15 months in oak barrels of which a low, one third are new wood. The purity is therefore brought to the fore, and a freshness and vitality is imbued in the wines. Gently sweet, gently leafy and satiny textured, this is a wine to dive right into with gusto, firing from the 2010 harvest.

Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

An absolutely stunning example from this up-and-coming estate, which has been performing on all cylinders of late, the 2010 Rouget has a dense plum/purple color, a beautifully sweet, expansive nose of spice box and a touch of toasty oak as well as copious quantities of black currants, cherries and plum. Supple and full-bodied, with a powerful mouthfeel and a hint of graphite, this is a deep rich, full-throttle, very sexy and opulent Rouget to drink over the next 15 or more year
