97 Points, James Suckling
James Suckling: "This young wine really sings with a level of purity and precision that I’ve never seen from here. Medium to full body, ultra fine tannins and beautiful red-berry and floral character at the end."
Winery: Rarely has the fight against the mildew been so intense. This vintage is a result of a hard work in the vineyard with spring climatology alternated between rainy and hot periods, and sometimes almost tropical atmosphere. The absence of rain from July to October, with warm but not too hot daytime temperatures altered with cool nights, has allowed the grapes to mature perfectly. At Château Rouget, the intensity of this vintage 2018 is clearly in line with 2005, 2009, 2015, but with a beautiful acidity that brings it close to 2010 and 2016. Born in pain but tasted with happiness, Rouget 2018 marks a new step in the steady progression of the property over the past few years.
