THE PRIMARY EXPRESSION OF RUINART TASTE

The Chardonnay grape is the soul of Ruinart. Its grapes, mainly from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, are at the heart of all its cuvées.

The Ruinart signature cuvée is a blend of 40% chardonnay, 40-45% pinot noir and 10-15% meunier, including 25-30% reserve wines from the two years preceding the base.



 

Eye : A brilliant and limpid yellow colour with golden reflections. Beautiful brilliance, the effervescence is sustained, with a very present cordon.

Nose : Fine and fresh, fruity, with notes of white fruits (pear, apple), apricot, hazelnut and fresh almonds. Some floral and spicy notes add complexity.
The second nose reveals a beautiful olfactory intensity, on a more brioche and biscuity background.

Palate : The attack is very frank. A well-balanced wine, quite round and fleshy on the attack with aromas of ripe fruit (greengage and nectarine). The finish is long, the well-integrated dosage gives way to a freshness characteristic of Chardonnay, which is very present in the blend.

A perfect champagne for the aperitif, which can also be served as a starter with light and fine dishes such as poached oysters, scallops a la plancha or as a main course with sole meunière. It can also accompany local cheeses with a short maturation period, such as a Chaource or a creamy Langres.
