Rouge 2008

Wine Spectator - James Molesworth - April 30, 2011

88 Points "Ripe, with a liberal toasty, spicy note leading the way, backed by mouthfilling red and black currant and blackberry preserve notes. There's a long, solid, tar-tinged finish."

Wine Spectator - James Suckling - March 31, 2008

90 Points "Delivers blackberry and pretty, toasty oak, with flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, long finish of ripe fruit, espresso and a hint of licorice. Balanced and refined."

The Washington Post - Ben Gilberti - December 14, 2005

Recommended Bordeaux "Restrained and beautiful in a classic Medoc/Pauillac style, with notes of new oak. Very classy."

The Spirit Journal - F. Paul Pacult - September 2004

Recommended "For Francophiles comes this tasty, savory, dried fruit beauty with the Medoc design. Great price. Perfect with pork or roast turkey, either of which would accentuate the red berry richness."

Nat Decants - Natalie MacLean - January 07, 2006

90 Points An amazing wine for this price. Hedonistic aromas of leather, tar, mocha, spice and affluence. Château Loudenne is another exceptional value-priced Bordelaise producer whose fruit-forward, balanced libation would match beautiful with an afternoon luncheon. This winner from the excellent 2000 vintage would match well with roast lamb or prime rib.

Food and Wine - March 2005

Recommended Buy "This handsome cru bourgeois property is one of the Medoc's better-kept secrets. Its 200 bottling captures the depth and richness of this vintage... with pleasing notes of plum and coffee."

Washington Post - Ben Giliberti - September 15, 2004

Recommended "If you don't get a piece of the action, you'll be missing a chance to snag this momentous vintage at a modest price. At around $20, the Cru Bourgeois Chateau Loudenne 2000 provides many of the thrills of the $100 bottles, tasting much like one of the better Pauillacs of the vintage."
