Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
Bright and taut, carried by the chalky minerality of 25 to 30 Chardonnay crus from across the Champagne appellation.
Roundness
A silky texture imparted by the reserve wines (20–30%) that softens the grape variety's natural acidity.
Intensity
Refined rather than imposing — the hallmark of a blanc de blancs from a great Champagne house.
Length
A long, delicate finish with notes of ripe citrus, candied zest and a touch of minerality.

TASTING NOTES

Pale gold in colour with luminous jade highlights, fine and persistent mousse. The nose opens on ripe lemon, juicy pear and white peach, followed by white blossom and a spiced hint of ginger and pink pepper. On the palate, lively tension is balanced by a creamy roundness; ripe citrus and tropical fruits unfold through to a long, mineral finish.

Terroirs

A blend of 25 to 30 Chardonnay crus drawn principally from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, complemented by the Sézannais and the Vallée de la Vesle. The addition of 20 to 30% reserve wines lends depth and consistency to the house style.

Ruinart

About this house

Founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, Maison Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house still in operation. Based in Reims, it watches over chalk cellars listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — veritable underground cathedrals carved 38 metres deep into the chalk.

Chardonnay is the very soul of the house. Frédéric Panaïotis, chef de caves since 2007, upholds an elegant, airy style by selecting the finest Champagne crus. The Seconde Peau case — an eco-designed packaging made from recycled cellulose fibre — embodies Ruinart's commitment to responsible luxury.

Food pairing

The perfect pairing

Between the champagne and its dish
Apéritif

Apéritif

Sa bulle fine et sa minéralité crayeuse épousent à merveille des gougères dorées, chaudes et légèrement fumées.

La vivacité citronnée du Blanc de Blancs entre en résonance avec les agrumes et les herbes fraîches du gravlax de saumon.

L'acidité vive et la longueur minérale du Chardonnay subliment la délicatesse beurrée d'une sole meunière.
