Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
A citrus-edged vivacity and fine bubble animate a tonic palate, the hallmark of the Côte des Blancs.
Roundness
The reserve wines contribute a silky roundness that tempers the Chardonnay's natural acidity.
Intensity
A Champagne of elegance and aperitif finesse rather than outright power, pitched in an airy, weightless register.
Length
The finish lingers on notes of white-fleshed fruit and a delicate chalky minerality.

TASTING NOTES

A golden robe with green highlights, threaded with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose opens on aromas of pear, green apple and white peach, lifted by a gentle brioche note. On the palate, the attack is lively and fresh, with a beautiful tension that gradually yields to a silky roundness through the mid-palate.

Ruinart

About this house

Founded on 1 September 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, Maison Ruinart is the oldest of the Champagne houses. Since 1947, Chardonnay has been enshrined as its signature grape variety, lending the entire range a lightness, freshness and recognisable aerial elegance.

Its chalk cellars, hewn 38 metres below ground and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, provide ideal ageing conditions throughout the year. A house within the LVMH group, Ruinart has embodied for nearly three centuries the marriage of refinement and the Champenois art de vivre.

The delicate brininess of raw sea bass responds elegantly to the chalky minerality and citrus notes of this Champagne.

Main course

Main course

The creamy richness of a risotto and the vegetal character of asparagus harmonise with the silky roundness and vivacity of R de Ruinart.
