Dinner at The Cotton Duck (Chicago, IL): Apparently, in Chicago, Rouget just sits on supermarket shelves. So, I did what I had to do. A spectacular pinot from the get-go, this punches at a very, very high level indeed. There's a pronounced red fruit tone to this wine, which developed as the evening went on into a sweet strawberry expression. I loved the spice on this too -- a very, very complex wine that you might not expect from the lowly appellation on the label.

Bright red, vibrant and clear. Standard was clearly just Bourgogne. Very primary crunchy red fruit, strawberries and raspberries, decent amount of acidity. Simplistic on the palate, with some fresh and bright red fruit and enjoyable for what it is.
