Château Rouget 2009

Weitere Verkostungsnotizen

"The best Rouget I have ever tasted, the 2009 displays terrific aromas of kirsch liqueur and loamy soil as well as a plump, fat, luscious personality. With sensational concentration and purity, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and an enormous fruit character, this beauty should drink well for 15 or more years."

"Sattes Purpur-Granat. Würziges Cassisbouquet, mit feinen Kräutern durchsetzt und im Hintergrund eine warme Amarenasüsse aufbietend. Cremiger Gaumen, Red-Currant-Note im konzentrierten Extrakt, gewisse Extraktionsnoten bei interessantem Potenzial. Wirkt wesentlich reservierter, klassischer als der offensive 2008er. Bei einer zweiten Degustation zeigte er sich dann euphorischer, mit noch mehr faszinierenden Fruchtnoten. 2018–2032"

"Owned by Jean Pierre Labrueyere and his son Edouard, a Burgundy family who have vineyards both in Burgundy and Bordeaux (and follow a Burgundian philosophy to a large extent, with everything very small scale, natural and precise often the malo hasn't even finished by the primeurs, although this year it seems to have done). The grapes mix is 85% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc. Good crisp fruit, it still needs some time to soften up, but this is really very successful. Bright purple fruits, very tight, very held together, enormously pleasurable, and far from being ready to approach."

"Another fine wine from this now consistent (and still relatively good value) estate. Aromatic, opulent, the texture of the tannins fine. Long finish. Drink 2016-2030."

"Licorice and tar, with hints of ripe berry. Full-bodied, with a solid core of ripe fruit and dense tannins. Yet it's all in near-perfect harmony. This has a new owner and it's even better. 94-97 Punkte -J.S."

"Drink 2015-2028; Very thick. Perfumed. Very sweet and opulent and ambitious. A bit of tannin on the end. You could almost stand a spoon up in this. Clinet? Very rich. Pretty alcoholic finish but there is lots of rich fruit, too."

"Loaded with fruit, this wine is a real charmer, its velvety, smooth texture just adds to the pleasure; the density of the wine is perfectly balanced by the freshness of the tannins."

"Tasted at Chateau Clinet. The Rouget ’09 has a fresh, well defined bouquet with wild strawberry, cherry and a touch of rose petal...very feminine and fragrant. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, ripe tannins, just a little toasty and spicy, good weight, modern in style but well balanced with good acidity and delineation towards the finish with hints of bay leaf and spice. Cohesive, very good length. Look out for Rouget upping the ante over the next few years…this is just the beginning. Tasted April 2010."
