14/20

RVF

This deep, dark garnet-colored Morgon immediately captivates with its aromas of ripe stone fruits (Burlat cherries, peaches, plums) and even a hint of kirsch. On the palate, it is generous and round, with pronounced tannins. A beautiful Beaujolais with Burgundian notes.

Guide Hachette des vins

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Founded in 1926 north of Mont Brouilly, this family-owned estate covers 21 hectares, with plots in four crus: Brouilly, Côte-de-Brouilly, Régnié, and Morgon. A sure bet in the Beaujolais region: the first “ Favorite ” was a 1984 vintage, and many others have followed. David Duthel took over the estate in 2010, which also operates a wine merchant business.

Wine rated (2020 guide) 14/20 (Good wine)

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the wine:

This Morgon, made from two vineyards, offers notes of blood orange and orange peel. Its structured texture is broader than it is long. It lacks a bit of freshness.

About the estate:

Cathy Duthel and her husband David Duthel took over from Jean-Paul Ruet, who expanded bottled wine sales at this estate founded in 1926. Adhering to traditional semi-carbonic winemaking methods, the Ruet estate adapts to the profile of each vintage, partially destemming depending on the year, aging in oak or in tanks, and performing punch-downs and racking to bring out the maximum fruit character. 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.
