Taste & Critical Acclaim:
94 pts Wine Enthusiast
“Ruinart is a specialist in Blanc de Blancs Champagne. This wine is finely balanced between maturity and taut fresh, mineral-driven fruit. From the Côte des Blancs, the wine is poised and ready to drink”

JS 93 James Suckling
“A vibrant and refreshing Champagne with a bright, enticing nose of lemon (fresh and candied) and sliced pear, as well as some floral and passion-fruit notes. Lovely balance of juicy fruit and acidity that dances nimbly across the palate. A biscuit note from lees lies in the background. Delicate, silky and finish. A blend of wines from Côtes des Blanc, Montagne de Reims and Sézanne. Drink or hold.”

“A toasty blanc de blanc with an aromatic overtone of smoke and lemon peel notes accenting flavors of poached apricot, brioche, passion fruit coulis and fresh thyme. Fine and creamy in texture, with a racy finish. Best from 2022 through 2027.”

About: THE FIRST CHAMPAGNE HOUSE
On September 1st 1729, in Reims, at the heart of the Champagne region, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart, creating the world's first ever champagne-producing company.

This gave rise to an enterprise that continues to flourish and to prosper nearly three hundred years later.

The intuition of his uncle, the monk who had first shown him the way, had thus inspired an initiative that was to make history.

In the mid-18th century, in order to store its bottles, Ruinart acquired its ancient crayères dug underneath the city of Reims.

In 1764, the House shipped the first Rosé champagne across Europe.
