Centennial heritage, fruity purity, and perfectly balanced style

Anchored on approximately 18 ha of gravel and clay in the north of Pomerol, Château Rouget has belonged to the Labruyère family since 1992. Emerging from the past as one of the historical great wines of Pomerol, it has regained its place of excellence with the technical support of Michel Rolland and the rigorous management of Antoine Ribeiro.
