The 2016 vintage in the press:
Vinous (N. Martin - January 2021): 90/100 "The 2016 Rouget has a generous, quite opulent bouquet featuring cedar and touches of dark chocolate; a light truffle scent bubbles up with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin and a little lactic in style, the oak just a little prominent toward the rather hard finish. This is one of the most extrovert and ambitious Pomerol crus."

The 2018 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (Guide 2024): 90/100 “The commitment to great maturity becomes more pronounced as the 2018 evolves. The concentration and velvety flesh command admiration.”
Vinous (A. Galloni - March 2021): 93/100 "The 2018 Rouget is not going to win any prizes for subtlety, but it sure is delicious. Racy and flamboyant to the core, the 2018 saturates the palate with super-ripe red fruit, mocha, spice and copious new French oak. I would give the tannins a few years to soften. There is certainly a lot to look forward to. Readers should expect a dense, heady style."

The 2017 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (November 2021): 92/100 “Hedonistic, very ripe for 2017, the vintage offers unrestrained opulent yet nuanced expression. The aromas are voluble (smoky red pepper, cocoa, cinnamon and many other spices), the framework fine in its mellow development. Enjoy this major success of the vintage now!"
Vinous (Antonio Galloni - March 2020): 95/100 “The 2017 Rouget is a real masterstroke. Aromatically explosive, profound and irresistibly beautiful, the 2017 has much to offer. Aromas of black fruits, lavender, bittersweet chocolate, spice and licorice develop as this sumptuous exotic beauty unfolds its full allure. The 2017 is not at all subtle, but it's certainly gorgeous.”
