Chateau Rouget Pomerol 16
$103.95Price
Pomerol's soft, opulent Merlot-based reds are the most seductive in Bordeaux, and Château Rouget is a reliable address on the plateau that doesn't get nearly enough attention. The 2016 — a standout, warm Bordeaux vintage — is all plush red and dark fruit, velvety texture, and a finish that lingers with hints of mocha and spice.
