The estate's venerable 80-year-old vines still have much to offer and deserve the full attention of lovers of great Brouilly wines. David Duthel brings out the best in them and has once again hit the mark with this captivating 2015 vintage, which has a Provençal feel to it thanks to its generosity. The nose, of rare elegance, evokes candied cherry, raspberry, and violet. The palate offers plenty of body, power, and volume, supported by fine tannins and a mineral structure that ensures balance and enhances its length." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

A sure bet in Beaujolais: the first Favorite a 1984, and many others followed. David Duthel took over the reins of the estate in 2010, complementing it with a wine trading business.

About the estate:
Cathy Duthel and her husband David Duthel took over from Jean-Paul Ruet, who developed bottled sales at this estate founded in 1926. Adhering to traditional semi-carbonic vinification methods, the Ruet estate adapts to the profile of each vintage, partially destemming depending on the year, aging in wood or vats, punching down and racking to bring out the maximum fruitiness. Careful work in the vineyards highlights the marriage of the soil and the Gamay grape. The wide and very consistent range can be discovered in a well-stocked cellar.

The fruit comes through nicely and the palate has good length, but I can't detect any licorice!

Domaine Ruert wine too old for a Beaujolais. Tastes like old wine!
