Château Rouget Le Carillon De Rouget 2020
Sommelier recommends
“The nose reveals aromas of vanilla, dark berry preserve, and chocolate. On the palate, the wine is juicy, with notes of blackcurrant and dark plum. The tannins are firm and chalky.” — Ronalds Pētersons, Sommelier at Noble Wine44 in stock
Le Carillon de Rouget 2020 is the second wine of Château Rouget, crafted with the same attention to detail and precision as the estate's Grand Vin. Produced in the prestigious Pomerol AOC on Bordeaux's Right Bank, it is dominated by Merlot, delivering an elegant, fruit-driven, and velvety style. The 2020 vintage offers exceptional balance, ripe fruit, refined tannins, and remarkable accessibility in its youth, while retaining excellent ageing potential.
Deep garnet in colour. The bouquet opens with aromas of black cherry, plum, violets, and subtle toasted spices. On the palate, the wine is smooth and rounded, with velvety tannins and a generous core of ripe red and black fruit. Layers of graphite, cocoa, and sweet tobacco add depth and complexity, leading to a long, elegant, and beautifully balanced finish.
An excellent match for roast lamb, duck breast, or mushroom risotto. Its generous fruit character and silky texture complement savoury and earthy flavours beautifully. It also pairs wonderfully with aged cheeses and premium charcuterie.
