Domaine Ruet

Beaujolais | Cercié

Domaine Ruet has been making wine at the foot of Mont Brouilly in Cercié-en-Beaujolais since 1926. Now in its fourth generation under Katy and David Duthel, the 20-hectare estate spans south-facing slopes of granite, schist, and shallow stony soils. They produce parcellaire wines from five crus (Brouilly, Côte de Brouilly, Morgon, Chiroubles, and Régnié) using organic practices, each vinified separately with indigenous yeasts to express its distinct terroir. Domaine Ruet holds fast to the tradition of semi-carbonic maceration, indigenous yeasts, and has harvested their vineyards by hand since the beginning.

Like most of Domaine Ruet's holdings, the vine density in Chiroubles is 10,000 vines per hectare and here, the average age is between 40 and 60 years. This charming wine is the silkiest and most elegant of the lineup with distinctive floral notes of peony and violet.
