Domaine Emmanuel Rouget

Rouget compares 2007 to 1997, describing the young wines as "typical pinot: attractive, fresh and persistent." He made only 33 hectoliters per hectare after tossing out rotten and pink grapes. Fermentation temperatures reached just 26oC, and Rouget noted that pHs are in the moderate 3.45 to 3.6 range. The typical wine was 11.8% potential alcohol chaptalized to about 12.8%. Rouget, always a candid judge of vintages and his own wines, believes the 2006s are cleaner wines that show their terroirs more clearly. They're a bit denser, he continued, even if they're showing their tannins today. And they're "truer, fresher expressions of pinot than the '05s," he added, describing the earlier year as "a vintage for snobs, with too much speculation."
