Dom Ruinart Champagne

Created by the oldest Champagne house — founded in Reims in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart — the Dom Ruinart range represents the house’s finest expression. These prestigious vintage cuvées are made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnays from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, two complementary terroirs that combine lemony freshness with chalky minerality. After blending, each vintage is aged for at least ten years in the famous crayères of Reims — Gallo-Roman underground cellars listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — before being released onto the market. The result is two exceptional champagnes: Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, a 100% Chardonnay of crystalline precision, and Dom Ruinart Rosé, enriched with a touch of Pinot Noir for unrivalled depth. These select bottles are priced between €230 and €350, depending on the vintage and availability.

Dom Ruinart Champagne — an iconic cuvée

The Dom Ruinart cuvées — Blanc de Blancs and Rosé de Prestige

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, the first vintage of which dates back to 1959, is blended exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnays: its flavour profile — candied citrus, white flowers, buttery notes and limestone minerality — calls for pairings worthy of haute cuisine: scallops, lobster roasted in brown butter, pan-seared turbot or Aquitaine caviar. Dom Ruinart Rosé, created in 1962, contains around 16 per cent Pinot Noir, which lends it roundness and body: it is magnificent with truffled poultry, lamb in a herb crust or beef fillet en croûte.

Serve both cuvées at between 10 and 12 °C, in a large tulip-shaped glass or a wide-bowled stemmed glass, to allow the aromas to unfold fully. Their ageing potential is exceptional: a recent vintage can be enjoyed straight away, whilst great vintages reach their peak between 15 and 25 years after harvest.

Pépites en Champagne selects each Dom Ruinart vintage at the precise moment when it is at its very best. Benefit from the expert advice of a specialist Champagne wine merchant and careful express delivery, in France and throughout Europe.

Dom Ruinart — The oldest Champagne house, established in 1729

The Ruinart house was founded in Reims in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, making it the oldest Champagne house in the world. Its headquarters, at 4 Rue des Crayères in Reims, features 7,000 m² of gardens that have been completely refurbished and have been open to the public since October 2024. Now owned by the LVMH (MHCS) group, the house cultivates a unique identity centred on Chardonnay and the Champagne way of life.

Dom Ruinart’s philosophy is rooted in a conviction passed down through the generations: only Grand Cru Chardonnay, sourced from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, can achieve such elegance. Extended ageing — for at least ten years in the chalk cellars of Reims, a UNESCO World Heritage Site — serves to refine champagnes of rare precision and depth.

Your questions about Dom Ruinart champagnes

Which vintage of Dom Ruinart should I buy, and what budget should I set aside?
Dom Ruinart vintages range in price from €230 to €350, depending on the year and availability. For immediate enjoyment, a vintage from the current decade offers a full-bodied aromatic freshness. For a bottle to lay down or a lasting, prestigious gift, the sunniest years in Champagne — concentrated and complex — represent first-rate investments in pleasure. Our wine merchant can advise you according to your plans.
What food and wine pairings go well with Dom Ruinart champagne?
Blanc de Blancs comes into its own with refined, seafood-based dishes: scallops, lobster, premium tasting oysters, turbot or caviar. The Rosé, which is fuller-bodied thanks to its 16% Pinot Noir content, pairs well with truffled poultry, pink-roasted lamb, a porcini mushroom risotto or a Brillat-Savarin. Avoid very spicy or vinegary dishes, which would overwhelm the Chardonnay’s delicate minerality.
How should Dom Ruinart champagne be served and stored to ensure it is enjoyed at its best?
Serve it at between 10 and 12 °C, having taken it out of the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before drinking, in a large tulip-shaped glass or a wide-bowed stemmed glass to bring out its complex aromas. When stored in a cool cellar (10–12 °C, away from light and vibrations), a Dom Ruinart can improve over 15 to 25 years depending on the vintage, gradually developing remarkable tertiary complexity: dried fruit, honey, toast and empyreumatic notes.

Dom Ruinart or Dom Pérignon: which one should you choose as a gift or for a special occasion?
Dom Ruinart focuses on the purity of Chardonnay and the mineral precision of the Côte des Blancs: it is the choice of connoisseurs seeking elegance, freshness and tension. Dom Pérignon favours a more structured and full-bodied Chardonnay-Pinot Noir blend. Dom Ruinart particularly appeals to lovers of light, airy blanc de blancs, whilst Dom Pérignon stands out for its power and widespread popularity.
What is the difference between Dom Ruinart and the classic Ruinart Blanc de Blancs?
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Classique is a non-vintage entry-level champagne, blended each year from reserves of Chardonnay to maintain a consistent and accessible style. Dom Ruinart is the prestige cuvée: exclusive Grands Crus, vintage, aged for at least ten years in UNESCO-listed chalk cellars — a complexity in a league of its own that fully justifies its price of between €230 and €350 a bottle.
