Wine Advocate 92
The 2020 Rouget is another rich, demonstrative wine from this estate situated on the edge of the Pomerol plateau. Offering up aromas of blackberries, cherries and baking chocolate framed by a lavish application of creamy new oak, it's medium to full-bodied, broad and enveloping, with a ripe core of fruit, powdery tannins and an expansive, vanillin-inflected finish. With a lighter touch in élevage and efforts to pursue more vibrant flavors, it's clear that this estate could easily score even higher.
Vinous 92
The 2020 Rouget has a well-defined bouquet with blackberry and crushed strawberry scents. This is more floral than its peers, and the oak is nicely integrated. The palate is fresh, vibrant and medium-bodied with sappy, ripe black fruit. It's quite sharp on the finish, to the point where the acidity almost feels shrill. Give it time, as it does meliorate with aeration and is one of the best Rouget wines in recent vintages. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

The 2020 Château Rouget showed nicely, with plenty of ripe black cherries, melted chocolate, tobacco, and a hint of iron in its medium to full-bodied, richer, tannic profile. While it's not the most elegant wine out there, it has impressive depth of fruit, sound structure, and a great finish. Tasted twice.
Look better than the competition!
Why Bottlenose Product Management Works
Research has found that the descriptions in wine labels, images and reviews can actually alter people’s emotions, even encouraging them to pay more for a bottle. Your online customers can't hold the bottle in their hand, so if your website doesn't provide complete, precise details about the products you sell, you're missing sales. The name of the wine and price is just not enough, people want to know more, and that's where a lot of online wine and spirit shops fail.
Gathering content for all of your products and uploading it to your website is a time consuming chore. You didn't get into this business to do data entry.
