Description
This vintage is exceptional. The Champagne House Ruinart succeeded in containing the essential great promises of this vintage. Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 1996 reproduces the beautiful acidity and the great ripeness of the Chardonnays from Grand Cru villages. On the nose, it is broad, complete and rich, with notes of honey and caramel without any olfactory heaviness. The taste has a beautiful aromatic and gustatory freshness, still with a rich mid-palate, yet very aery. It is a very complex champagne which a juvenile character foreshadowing beautiful prospects. The Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 1996 is a blend of 60% Chardonnay from the famous Côte des Blancs ( Avize,Chouilly, Le Mesnil) and of Chardonnay of which 40% comes from the Montagne de Reims (Sillery, Puisieulx, Verzenay, Mailly).
