"Aging half in vats and half in casks has clearly brought out the qualities of this full-bodied, complex wine. The nose develops notes of beautifully ripe red fruit. The palate has everything to please: fine tannins, volume, fruit, perfectly integrated oak, balance, and length. A real treat. (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020)

Guide Hachette des vins

Wine rating (2020 guide) 2 stars (Outstanding wine)

Rated estate (2022 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer's wines are regularly recognized by the guide)

About wine:

Half of the wine was aged in vats and half in casks, which clearly brought out the qualities of this full-bodied, complex wine. The nose develops notes of beautifully ripe red fruit. The palate has everything you could want: fine tannins, volume, fruit, perfectly integrated oak, balance, and length. A real treat.

About the estate:

Founded in 1926 north of Mont Brouilly, this family estate covers 21 hectares, with plots in four crus: Brouilly, Côte-de-Brouilly, Régnié, and Morgon. 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.

Rated estate (2022 guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking and, as such, all the estates listed in it, even those without stars, represent, in our opinion, the excellence of French production.)

About wine:

The nose is supported by heady alcohol: lilac and wisteria. Its generous fruit is revived by an energetic mid-palate with tannins. At the end of aging, it will be splendid.

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.
