Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, established in 1729, and specializes in exceptionally refined Chardonnay-based wines. The non-vintage (NV) Blanc de Blancs is considered one of the house’s flagship cuvées, crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes.
A very appealing and satisfying style that fully captures the elegance and poise of Chardonnay. The aromas here are all based around lemons, grapefruit, honey, fresh floral notes, stone fruits and toasty autolysis … The palate delivers a ripe, flavorsome impression of peach custard and lemon crème brûlée. The acidity is nicely placed and the finish upbeat with vibrant fruit expression.
Ruinart is a Chardonnay house, so this wine can be considered one of its signature cuvées. With some bottle age, it is crisp while also toasty with secondary flavors that are balancing the apple and citrus fruits. The wine is well balanced, the soft aftertaste still in keeping with its crisper, textured flavors.
A finely knit Champagne, this is driven by smoky minerality and layered with a subtle mix of lemon curd, biscuit, Acacia blossom and white peach puree. Long and vibrant on the spiced finish
Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in 2022, Ruinart's newly released NV Blanc de Blancs bursts with characteristically reductive aromas of yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil, iodine and toasted bread. Medium-bodied, pillowy and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish, it is an attractive Champagne that incorporates 20% reserve wines.
Pale yellow with green reflections; fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of Ripe citrus, pear, peach, pineapple, floral white flowers, ginger. The palate is supple and fresh, with flavors of white peach, citron, minerality, balanced
