($25, Schatzi Wines):  Consumers can select anything that Domaine Ruet makes and be happy with it.  This Morgon, from the climat (or vineyard) Douby, is sensational.  It has the firmness for which Morgon is known, but with a charming fruitiness and haunting minerality.  It has a refinement and length that is not usually associated with Beaujolais.  But this is not “Beaujolais,” but rather Douby from Morgon from a top producer.  Lovely now with a summertime grilled steak, its balance suggests a lovely evolution.  Yes, the label is unfamiliar — Morgon, Douby.  Consumers, it’s time to learn more geography.  This wine shows why it’s worth it.
