Château Rouget
On the clay‑and‑gravel seams of the Pomerol plateau, Château Rouget in Pomerol has built a reputation through continuity rather than noise. Recorded in land registers from the early 1700s and ranked among the leading estates in 19th‑century local classifications, the house treats terroir as a map of tiny decisions.
Merlot leads, with Cabernet Franc adding line and lift; parcels of argile and grave are picked by hand, sorted hard, and vinified with a plot‑by‑plot mindset. Gentle extraction, controlled fermentations and élevage in French barriques are used as tools, not signatures, to keep structure precise.
Since the Labruyère family took the reins in 1992, investment has sharpened accuracy while preserving identity: a Pomerol that favours depth, polish and a clear, site‑driven profile over easy theatrics.Château Rouget
