Château Rouget 2020 Pomerol

The 2020 vintage of Château Rouget, crafted from predominantly Merlot with a smaller proportion of Cabernet Franc, presents itself with a deep ruby-purple color and an aromatic nose of black cherries, plums, tobacco, cedar, and subtle spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and silky, offering flavors of ripe black and red plums, chocolate, truffle, licorice, and earthy undertones, all framed by velvety tannins and vibrant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with waves of plush black cherries and a touch of cocoa that highlight its balance between richness and finesse. This wine is approachable now but will continue to evolve gracefully over the next two decades. Its structure and depth make it an excellent partner for classic dishes such as lamb stew, grilled ribeye, or roasted duck, while its earthy and truffle notes pair beautifully with mushroom risotto, game meats, and aged cheeses. The wine’s elegance also allows it to shine alongside refined French cuisine, making it versatile for both rustic and sophisticated pairings.
