Aromatic profile

The structure of this champagne

Four dimensions to capture its balance
Freshness
The Chardonnay signature from the Côtes des Blancs delivers a very distinct lemony, floral vibrancy.
Roundness
The reserve wines and lees ageing lend an enveloping, creamy texture.
Intensity
A well-balanced blend, leaning towards finesse rather than power, faithful to Ruinart's aromatic precision.
Length on the palate
A fresh and lingering finish, carried by white fruit and a discreet minerality.

Ruinart

About this house

Founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, Maison Ruinart is the oldest Champagne House still in operation. Based in Reims, it has elevated Chardonnay to the status of its defining signature and made its celebrated crayères — listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site — an exceptional cradle of winemaking.

Committed to an exemplary approach to sustainable development, Ruinart has revolutionised its packaging with the Seconde Peau case: crafted from natural moulded paper made from recycled fibres, it shields the champagne from light and heat whilst reducing the carbon footprint by 60% compared with a traditional cardboard box — a remarkable marriage of Champenois excellence and environmental responsibility.

Its fine bubbles and lemony freshness find a perfect echo in the golden warmth of comté gougères.

The vivacity of the Chardonnay mirrors the briny notes and citrus of a salmon gravlax.

The creamy texture and freshness of the cuvée converse harmoniously with the delicate spring sweetness of a green asparagus risotto.
