Note di degustazione
An excellent delivery from this difficult vintage and with Rouget you can expect some good concentration. Fresh and deep, with subtle hazelnut chocolate and cedary oak to the dark cherries and berries. Medium to full body, with agreeable tannins and fruit. Fine-grained and long. It tastes like a complete wine now.

From argilo-graveleux soils and based on 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, brought up in 30% new oak for 16 months, the 2024 Château Rouget has a distinctly herbal component in its darker fruits as well as peppery herbs, graphite, and damp earth-like nuances. It's beautiful on the palate and has a ripe, layered mouthfeel, plenty of mid-palate depth, and a great finish. It's a singular, impressive, beautiful wine that I'd be happy to own.
Medium intensity plum colour, understated red fruits on the nose, unrolls slowly, shows precision and careful construction. This is enjoyable, gentle and well expressed, builds to a juicy finish with chalky tannins, fresh acidities. 3.6 pH. Harvest 21 October. Grape variety given is as planted, not specific to the 2024 vintage. Tasted twice.
The 2024 Rouget is a standout. Floral top notes meld into a core of red-toned fruit, mocha, spice, new leather and cedar. The aromatics are so central in the wine's personality. Silky, polished tannins add to an overall impression of finesse. More than anything else, Rouget impresses with its balance.

Close to the Pomerol church, the Labruyère family purchased this property in 1994. They immediately set to work, restructuring the vineyard, renovating the winery and allowing the property to emerge from the shadows.
