2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

"This 2013, aged five months in vats, has a beautiful purple hue. Cherry, raspberry, strawberry, the nose is generously fruity. This aromatic intensity is echoed on the palate, which is full of charm, round and silky, with no lack of structure or freshness. A model of harmony". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2015)

About the domain :

Cathy Duthel and her husband David Duthel have taken over from Jean-Paul Ruet, who developed bottled sales at this estate founded in 1926. A firm believer in traditional semi-carbonic vinification, Domaine Ruet adapts to the profile of each vintage, partially de-stemming depending on the year, ageing in wood or vats, punching down and de-stemming to offer maximum fruit. Careful selection of plots brings out the marriage of soil and Gamay. A wide and very homogeneous range of wines to discover in a well-stocked cellar.

This wine is well made, flawless, but it's really very light, borderline watery, for a Beaujolais cru. This is certainly due to the low-quality 2013 vintage in Beaujolais. I'm still surprised that the Guide Hachette awarded it 2* and a Coup de Coeur.
