Château Rouget 2009 is a distinctive red wine from the Pomerol appellation, crafted predominantly from Merlot and Cabernet Franc grapes. The estate spans 17 hectares, reflecting a commitment to traditional viticulture. The 2009 vintage is noted for its balance, resulting from a successful year marked by favourable growing conditions. Château Rouget, a family-owned property, maintains a legacy in winemaking, producing wines that reflect the complexity of their terroir. This 18ha estate was the first in Bordeaux to be bought by a Burgundian family, the Labruyères, back in 1992. This bottle offers insights into the estate’s approach to viticulture and regional characteristics.
92 Robert Parker
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. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.

Very thick. Perfumed. Very sweet and opulent and ambitious. A bit of tannin on the end. You could almost stand a spoon up in this. Clinet? Very rich. Pretty alcoholic finish but there is lots of rich fruit, too. (JR)
