Description
The terroirs dedicated to Le Carillon de Rouget are more aerial than the ones selected for Château Rouget. This, combined with the relative youth of the vines, compared to the ones of the Grand Vin, result in earlier ripening and give the wine its roundness and appealing character.

Tasting
Appearance : a deep garnet color.
Aroma : very expressive with black fruit and liquorice.
Palate : opulent, with aromas of ripe black cherry, with spicey notes. The tannins are soft and velvety, typical for Pomerol.
This wine combines richness and concentration, reflecting the 2009 vintage. It is well-balanced with a nice fresh finish.
