Critic tasting note: "As good, or even slightly better than the 2009, the wine is lush, plush and filled with sweet, juicy, ripe, black plums, cherries, truffle, licorice and dark chocolate. Rouget is making one of the best values in Pomerol today, which says a lot for wines from this increasingly expensive appellation. 92 Points" - 92/100, Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider

- Vintage Notes
-
2010 is an outstanding vintage for Château Rouget, comparable to the memorable 1961 and 1947. The ripening process was very regular, with optimal acidity and pH. The terroirs have managed to free themselves from the weather conditions to deliver fruit quality that was beyond all expectations. The harvest date was difficult to predict as the phenolic ripeness was dissociated from the alcoholic ripeness. We chose to preserve balance and fruitiness to be even more elegant than 2009 and 2005.

- Harvest Notes
-
Grapes are manually picked and carefully transported in small 20 kg crates. Harvest occurs in several steps, in order to secure an optimal maturity level. Bunches are sorted a first time as soon as they arrive in the cellar. Then, once the grapes are fully destemmed, they go through another double sorting table.

- Producer Tasting Notes
-
Appearance: Beautiful garnet colour. Nose: An open and elegant nose. This elegance is confirmed on the palate. Palate: The wine has a great body and refined tannins, with a long lingering after taste. A superb expression of a grand Pomerol, combining concentration and silky tannins! The silky touch of merlot combines perfectly with the minerality of the cabernet franc. The wines are blended early in the ageing process and find in this vintage the perfect balance between ripeness and freshness.

Alkohol und Eiche sind ungleich präsenter als im Primeurmuster, was alle anderen guten Eigenschaften überdeckt, nur die Tannine besitzen den gleichen Schliff: schade.
