"A well-rounded and harmonious wine"
"Fresh and delicious on the nose, the aromatic expression of this cuvée, vinified from whole bunches, evokes peony and morello cherry in particular. After a frank and supple attack, fairly firm but pleasant tannins coat the palate. A complete and harmonious wine that will age well without any unpleasant surprises."

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.

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.
