“Ruinart” and “Blanc de Blancs,” to connoisseurs, almost rhyme as they echo each other so much. The two terms are so inseparable from each other today because Ruinart has always built its identity and its reputation thanks to its capacity to bring to the top the great Chardonnays of Champagne as the origin of its Blanc de Blancs.
Founded in 1729, Ruinart is none other than the oldest champagne house. And even at the time of its genesis, Chardonnay was already shaping its soul. A true emblem of Ruinart taste, the grapes used to make all the house's Blanc de Blancs cuvées have their roots in the heart of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, some of the most legendary terroirs in Champagne.
Here too, the house selects the best fruit the land has to offer, and so makes its cuvées from vineyards that are essentially rooted in the Premier Crus of these two geographical areas. But the house is not unaware of the beauty of the nuances and interplay of flavours when they are perfectly mastered. That's why it subtly adds to the finesse of the Premier Crus the delicious, round aromas of the Sézannais wines and the fresh, light touches of the wines from the Vesle valley.
This art of blending to perfection the different terroirs that make up the beauty of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs bears witness to the House's ancestral and unrivalled talent for working with Chardonnay. Ruinart has been painting this perfect picture of harmony and balance for centuries, through a range of Blanc de Blancs cuvées, each more legendary than the last.
The Ruinart Blanc de Blancs cuvée is the quintessential Ruinart Blanc de Blancs. Blending the character of several vintages, this champagne reveals the best that the years have to offer. To the eye, this wine reveals a very pleasant golden colour, before extending its intense, harmonious, mineral brilliance from the nose to the palate. Flowers and exotic fruit come together to delight the taste buds.
Following in the footsteps of this first cuvée, Ruinart offers an ecological alternative that is just as rare and refined. Ruinart Seconde Peau Blanc de Blancs carries the harmonious, elegant style of the Blanc de Blancs cuvée but is adorned with a superb wrap made from 100% recycled paper that hugs the shape of the bottle with unparalleled elegance. After more than two years of research, this second skin offers a Blanc de Blancs shown off in a package that represents the House's determination to rise to the challenges of tomorrow. It works: by combining aesthetics, authenticity and ecological commitment, Ruinart continues to inspire connoisseurs and critics alike.
To complete its range of Blanc de Blancs and offer a perfect balance between vintage and non-vintage champagnes, the House has added a jewel of delicacy and refinement to its collection. Since 1959, the Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs cuvée has been one of those vintage white champagnes that delight the hearts of the most discerning connoisseurs, as its ode to Chardonnay harmonises generous, elegant notes. Produced only in exceptional vintages, this cuvée captivates with its golden colour, the fine, sunny expression of its bouquet, the delicious balance of its aromas and the rare finesse of its effervescence.
Ruinart's Blanc de Blancs are the stylish embodiment of the French art of living. Accompanying seafood and shellfish in their purest form, on refined tables, these champagnes will bring out all the exquisite flavours of the sea. Tartares and fish à la plancha will also be transcended. Without doubt, these iconic champagnes have no equal when it comes to celebrating the conviviality of spring and summer tables. These cuvées provide champagne lovers with the beauty of style magnified by the test of time. Ruinart’s champagnes will fascinate and delight in a bubble of refined pleasure.
