Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is the maison's signature cuvée: Chardonnay only, non-vintage, bottled at 750mL.
From the Producer
Ruinart was founded in Reims in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart on the vision of his uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, making it the oldest established Champagne house. Its Blanc de Blancs is drawn entirely from Chardonnay across 25 to 30 crus in the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and the Vallée de la Vesle. The fruit is hand-harvested and the wine is aged in the Crayerès, the Gallo-Roman chalk cellars beneath Reims classified as a French historical monument in 1931, where a constant 10–12°C and high humidity shape the house's poise and freshness.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Citrus and white flowers with ripe orchard fruit and a chalky mineral lift.
- Palate: Fresh and precise, a fine persistent mousse carrying lemon, peach and a light brioche depth from the lees.
- Finish: Clean and long, with the chalk-driven salinity that defines the house style.
Best For
Aperitif service, shellfish and raw seafood, and gifting where a recognisable house name matters. Serve at 8–10°C in a white-wine glass rather than a flute.
