Roundness
Supple, easy-drinking champagne, the acidity doesn't clash with the palate.
Power
Generous champagne with great intensity.
Long on the palate
Champagne aromas linger on the palate.
Tasting
This wine is golden yellow in color, with slight water-green highlights. The effervescence is fine and persistent.
On the nose, powdery, floral (iris) and mineral (wet rock) notes evoke the chypre world of perfumery.
Both rich and taut, Dom Ruinart 2010 is seductive, expressive and concentrated. It asserts itself with great aromatic intensity. Aromas of fig leaf mingle with notes of black tea and fresh spices (sil timur berries, mahaleb).
On the palate, the material develops and persists, both firm and directed. The wine continues with a fresh finish enhanced by elegant bitterness.

Terroirs
Marne Valley,
Côte des Blancs
La Maison has selected Chardonnays from exceptional terroirs, most of them classified Grand Cru. 90% come from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Chouilly & Cramant) and 10% from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims at Sillery, the Maison's historic stronghold. These Chardonnays, grown on chalky soils, benefit from optimal sunshine.
About this house
Ruinart was founded on September 1, 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. His uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, a learned Benedictine monk, had an intuition about this new "sparkling wine" from his native Champagne region...
The creation of Ruinart coincided with the birth of the French art de vivre. A genuine culture of goodness and beauty was born, with a focus on fine, elegant, delicate and rare tastes.
Driven by a constant quest for excellence and perfection, Ruinart has made the unique choice of chardonnay, a rare and fragile grape variety, the common thread running through all its cuvées.
L'Accord Parfait
Between Champagne and its dish
Dishes from Meats
This champagne is the perfect accompaniment to Filet de cochon noir du Périgord, nutmeg mace, Jerusalem artichoke, lovage oil drizzle & toasted chestnut shavings.
Dishes of Fish
This champagne can be enjoyed with a Brittany blue lobster smoked with vine shoots and fir thorns, daikon petals, creamy wakame seaweed sauce & lemon zest.
Vegetarian dishes
A vegetarian dish can also enhance the freshness of this champagne. Leeks in different textures (burnt, fried, mashed), potato sabayon & truffle come to mind.
