Le Carillon de Rouget 2015

The second wine of Château Rouget. The terroirs dedicated to Le Carillon de Rouget are slightly higher than the ones selected for Château Rouget. This, combined with the relative youth of the vines compared to the ones of the Grand Vin, results in earlier ripening grapes that gives the wine its roundness and approachability when young. Predominantly Merlot with a touch of Cabernet Franc, this is lovely and smooth on the palate with velvety tannins with plush black fruits, pencil shavings and wood notes on the finish. Pair with succulent cuts of meat.
