CHAMPAGNE RUINART - BLANC DE BLANCS

About the House

Maison Ruinart, founded in 1729, is the oldest Champagne house. Based in Reims, it embodies excellence and innovation in the crafting of exceptional Champagnes. Blanc de Blancs, the house’s flagship cuvée, is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes selected mainly from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Ruinart oversees every stage of the process, from vineyard to cellar, to guarantee impeccable quality and an elegant signature marked by the finesse and purity of the grape variety.

Tasting Notes

Appearance

Champagne Ruinart Blanc de Blancs stands out for its shimmering appearance, a pale gold with subtle green highlights. The bubbles are fine and persistent, forming a delicate ring at the surface and reflecting extended aging on the lees. The brightness of the wine’s color reveals its youth and energy, while hinting at remarkable freshness.

Nose

The nose opens on a highly expressive aromatic profile, driven by fresh citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit, lifted by floral touches of jasmine and acacia blossom. You’ll also find white-fleshed fruit aromas such as pear and peach, along with lightly brioche-like and mineral nuances, the hallmark of Champagne Chardonnay.

Palate

On the palate, the attack is lively, marked by creamy bubbles and perfectly balanced acidity. The wine reveals a silky texture, generous breadth, and striking aromatic purity. Citrus and white-fruit flavors weave together with notes of fresh hazelnut and a long, elegant mineral finish. The aromatic persistence leaves an impression of freshness and remarkable refinement.

Food & Wine Pairings

Champagne Ruinart Blanc de Blancs pairs beautifully with refined, delicate dishes. It shines with seafood such as oysters, scallops, or a sea bass carpaccio. It also works wonderfully with sushi, sashimi, or a fish tartare. For a more gastronomic experience, serve it with sea bream ceviche or a soft cheese such as truffled Brie.

Aging Potential

You can enjoy this Champagne now to savor its freshness and vibrancy. That said, it has an aging potential of 3 to 5 years, during which it will develop more complex aromas and an even silkier texture while retaining its finesse.
