TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with brilliantly luminous golden highlights. The nose opens on floral notes of iris and mineral hints of damp chalk, before revealing on aeration toasty nuances of hazelnut, roasted almond and coffee, intertwined with ripe citrus zest. The palate is rich and taut, with remarkable intensity where fig leaf, black tea and fresh spices meld into a firm structure leading to a finish of exceptional persistence and elegance.

Terroirs

An exclusive blend of Chardonnay Grands Crus drawn 90% from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Chouilly, Cramant) and 10% from the Montagne de Reims (Sillery). The 2010 vintage, harvested under ideal summer conditions, yielded plump, crisp grapes that faithfully express the diversity of Champagne's chalky terroirs.

Dom Ruinart

About this house

Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest Champagne House, established in Reims within chalk cellars listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A pioneer of Blanc de Blancs in Champagne, Grand Cru Chardonnay is the absolute signature of every one of its cuvées.

Dom Ruinart, the House's prestige cuvée, embodies the most accomplished expression of this heritage: vinified and aged under cork — a centuries-old technique revived by Chef de Cave Frédéric Panaïotis — and disgorged by hand, it reveals a complexity and elegance that only nine years on lees can bestow.

The richness and tension of the champagne marry elegantly with the delicate brininess and firm texture of lobster.
