- TASTING NOTE: Intensely aromatic, ripe lemon, juicy pear, white flowers and a touch of spice. The palate is a balancing act of tension and roundness. The enveloping structure is highlighted by fresh aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit, and leads to a long and delicate finale.
- ABOUT THE WINE: Harvested by hand,, Ruinart Blanc De Blancs is produced from a blend of 25–30 crus, from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle, including 20–30% reserve wine kept from a range of vintages. Alcoholic fermentation is in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats. It is aged in cellars for 2–3 years before release. Dosage is 7 g/L.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The House of Ruinart was founded on September 1, 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. His uncle, a learned Benedictine monk called Dom Thierry Ruinart had incredible insight. He foretold that this new “wine with bubbles”, developed in his native region of Champagne and which the royal courts of Europe adored, was destined for a bright future. The creation of the House of Ruinart coincided with the dawn of the Enlightenment in France and of the French “art de vivre”. There arose in France a true culture of everything good and beautiful, favoring fine and elegant, light and sophisticated, delicate and rare taste. The cuvées naturally found their place. Driven by a constant quest for excellence and the absolute, the House selected chardonnay, a rare and fragile grape variety, as the common thread for all its cuvées.
