Chateau Rouget 2016

One of Bordeaux's biggest names, the Pomerol appellation and region is arguably the figurehead of the region's so-called "Right Bank", Merlot-based wines.

A Bordeaux Blend, at its most basic, is any combination of those grape varieties typically used to make the red wines of Bordeaux. The phrase, which seems to have originated with British wine merchants in the 19th Century, relates as much to wines made from the blend as to the grape variety combination itself.

Tasting note: "Lush, silky, rich and concentrated, the wine is polished, fresh, and juicy with a silky textured blast of licorice, cocoa and red fruit filled finish. This super wine is a real value for Pomerol.
