Bordeaux Blend · Pomerol
“Rouget can provide amazing quality at a low price. The 1947 has always been one of the great successes of the vintage (a monstrously rich, full, blockbuster vintage for Pomerol). This wine possesses a dark garnet color with considerable rust at the edge. A sweet, spicy, plumy nose is followed by a wine with hard tannin, as well as rich, unctuously-textured, thick fruit flavors. Fully mature, it is capable of lasting for another decade.”

Chateau Rouget
1947 Bordeaux Blend, PomerolChâteau Rouget is a wine estate located in the Pomerol region, in Bordeaux's so-called "right bank" area, northeast of the Dordogne river around the town of Libourne, some 25 miles east of Bordeaux city.
Château Rouget history began several centuries ago. Already identified at the end of the Roman Empire, Château Rouget's terroirs were at that time merged with St Emilion's ones.
Château Rouget appears in archives and land register from 1700 and is considered as one of the first official Pomerol Crus. This period corresponds to the building date of the splendid house symbolizing the estate, belonging then to the Bayonne Family. The last family member involved in the estate, Pierre Bayonne, was also mayor of Pomerol during the First Empire. As a talented winemaker, he used Chateau Rouget as a perfect display for his skills.
At the end of the 19th century, a classification of Pomerol wines placed Rouget among the top five estates of the appellation. This recognition stems from the remarkable constancy showed by consecutive owners of the estate, who all worked hard to produce iconic wines.
