Jancis Robinson 16.5/2085% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Franc; 25% new oak. Barrel sample. Very dark black-cherry colour. Sweet vanilla-laced black fruit, nicely stony/dusty to balance the sweet blueberry fruit. Extremely smooth, polished and rounded and a touch of vanilla sweetness on the finish.

Glengarry Review
Liz Wheadon - One of the plots that goes into this is located near Clinet, the other three near Trottanoy. The winemaking is at the hand of a Burgundian, thus the style and approach very different, but it works. A vibrant fruity nose, violets and lots of plum. Spicy red fruits, very fruit forward and generous. A luscious and very approachable wine.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown. Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Rouget sports quite a lot of oak at this stage, opening out to lively red and black plums notes and notions of baked cherries, blueberry compote and dried mulberries plus wafts of raisin cake, tree bark and bouquet garni. Full and concentrated, with a firm, fine-grained frame, it fills the palate with berry preserves and offers plenty of spicy and earthy nuances on the long finish.
