Inside Bordeaux

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2022 Rouget tumbles from the glass with ready-to-go notes of baked blackberries, preserved plums, and blueberry compote, giving way to wafts of aniseed and black olives. The full-bodied palate is concentrated, with blackberry preserves flavors and a firm, chewy texture, finishing on a lingering earthy note.

A blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Rouget is deep garnet-purple in color. The nose is dominated by prunes, balsamic and leathery notes, while the medium-bodied palate is tart and bitter.

The 2020 Rouget is a blend of 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes bounding from the glass with exuberant notes of plum preserves, chocolate-covered cherries, and mince pies, followed by hints of tilled soil, wild thyme, and tobacco leaf. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers mouth-coating juicy black fruit with spicy accents and a soft texture, finishing minerally.

Seductive floral aromatics, fresh acidities giving a mouthwatering feel from beginning to end, with smoked raspberry and blackberry notes, and a touch of sour plum salinity on the finish. Owner Edouard Labruyère works with a small amount of stems during the winemaking but with fully ripe grapes, giving a textured push and pull of exuberance and restraint. 33hl/ha yield.

The 2018 Rouget is deep garnet purple in color. It sings of plums preserves, chocolate-covered cherries, and fruit cake, plus suggestions of camphor and Chinese five spice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is firm and grainy, with a lively line and bags of exotic spices, finishing long.
