Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut

37 cl

Falstaff: 94 points

Alcohol content: 12.5% vol.

Grape varieties: 100% Chardonnay

Vinification:

Méthode champenoise, classic first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a second fermentation in the bottle and refinement on the lees for up to six years in the dark, chalky oak barrels of the oldest, still existing champagne house.

Tasting note:

Light green-yellow in colour, very fine, persistent mousse. Yellow apple fruit with a fine hint of biscuit, nuances of fresh quince, delicate hazelnut flavour, mineral touch. Full-bodied, good complexity, sweet yellow tropical fruit, nuances of peach and pineapple, delicate blossom honey on the finish, an elegant food companion, vinous and well persistent.

Ruinart:

Connoisseurs and connoisseurs who are looking for something special and value outstanding quality are well advised to choose champagnes from Ruinart. The house can look back on a long company history. Ruinart was founded by Nicolas Ruinart in Reims in 1729, making it the first and oldest champagne house. The house's unique style of flavour, the Gout Ruinart, is the legacy of this long company tradition and is still cultivated today by the owners, managers and cellar masters of the house.

The deliberate decision to use a very high proportion of Chardonnay grapes - the most delicate and elegant of all Champagne grape varieties - in all cuvées demonstrates an uncompromising pursuit of perfection. The individual design of these Champagne from France is evidence of unrivalled expertise, the fine art of assemblage. Every single Ruinart cuvée, whether "R" de Ruinart, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs or Ruinart Rosé, has its own unmistakable style: fine sparkling foam, exceptional purity and freshness.
