AWARDS
Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider: 91/100
Neal Martin: 91/100
Tasting Notes: The depth of the ruby red color indicates a wide and generous wine. At first, the bouquet is all about black fruits and opens out with very soft and sweet spices. The freshness of the mouth and the finesse of the tannins make the wine very silky, and the crunchy mouth in the middle will be quite surprising. It is a lively wine that will reveal itself a little bit more every time you taste it.
Food Pairing: Braised, roasted, or grilled meats are always a good choice, as they tend to have rich, savory flavors that mesh well with the earthiness of the Pomerol. Other good options include roasted chicken, mushrooms, truffles, and other dishes with intense earthy flavors.

Château Rouget, with a history dating back centuries, was identified at the end of the Roman Empire, and its terroirs merged with St Emilion`s. Officially recognized in Pomerol Crus from 1700, it`s among the first Pomerol estates. The Bayonne Family owned it in the 18th century. In the late 19th century, Rouget earned a top-five spot in Pomerol wine classification, a testament to consistent excellence. The Labruyère Family, owners since 1992, continues the tradition, aiming to position Rouget among Right Bank leaders. Critically acclaimed, it`s seen as making the most consistent progress in the appellation, vintage after vintage. For more details, you can explore Château Rouget`s official records and wine critics` reviews.

Cab.Sauvignon Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
