3*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"The estate’s venerable eighty-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 made a strong impression with this captivating 2015, which evokes Provence with its generous character. 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 backbone that ensures balance and enhances its length.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

About the estate:

Cathy Duthel and her husband David Duthel took over from Jean-Paul Ruet, who expanded the estate’s bottled wine sales at this estate founded in 1926. A proponent of traditional semi-carbonic vinification, the Ruet estate adapts to the profile of each vintage, partially destemming depending on the year, aging in oak or in tanks, punching down and racking to bring out the maximum fruitiness. The meticulous work in the vineyards highlights the harmony between the soil and the Gamay grape. The extensive and highly consistent range can be explored in a well-stocked tasting room.
