2005 Château Rouget, Pomerol
Lay & Wheeler has never previously purchased the wines of Château Rouget but we could not resist including the new release in our 2005 vintage en primeur offer. The '05 is way ahead of any earlier vintage from the estate that we have tasted.
Luscious,
voluptuous, showy pomerol which reveals an abundance of flattering, ripe, black stone fruit flavours from beginning to end.
Generous and substantial but not overblown. Really delicious and this head-turner could well turn out to be one of the best-valued Pomerols of the vintage.
