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 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 the wine 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 wine cellar.
