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.
The 2024 Rouget has a pure bouquet with blueberry and cassis scents, quite floral and almost Margaux-like in style. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and fine acidity, harmonious though not complex. Because of that, this Rouget has a fine natural "flow" and should provide 12 to 15 years of drinking pleasure.
