Domaine Ruet – Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2009 – Brouilly

The nose is aromatic and quite elegant. It reveals notes of ripe red fruits and slight hints of crushed blueberry, violet associated with slight notes of spices, zan as well as a discreet hint of tobacco and an imperceptible hint of pepper. The palate is fruity, relatively mineral, silky, well-balanced, elegant, suave, fat and offers a slight juiciness. In the mouth this wine expresses notes of blackberry, juicy plum and slight notes of ripe red fruits, liquorice associated with a touch of tobacco/cigar as well as a discreet woody hint and a hint of truffle. Tannins are supple. Good length.
