Ruinart Champagne Brut

This signature non-vintage champagne originates from the Champagne region of France. Founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, the House of Ruinart is recognized as the oldest established champagne house in the world. The winery's heritage is deeply rooted in the vision of Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk who foresaw the success of 'wine with bubbles'. Today, the maison is part of the Moët Hennessy group and is celebrated for its historic, UNESCO-listed chalk cellars (crayères) in Reims, where wines have been aged for centuries.

Wine Description

The R de Ruinart Brut displays a vibrant, clear yellow colour with shimmering golden reflections. The nose is fine and fruity, initially revealing fresh aromas of white-fleshed pear, reinette apples, and apricots, followed by delicate notes of hazelnuts and fresh almonds. Secondary impressions offer more intense scents of buttery brioche, biscuit, and white flowers. On the palate, the wine is balanced and full-bodied, enveloping the mouth in a harmonious roundness with sweet notes of golden fruit and plum tarts. The finish is long and direct, showcasing the characteristic mineral freshness of chardonnay. This blend typically consists of 40% Chardonnay, 45–55% Pinot Noir, and 5–15% Pinot Meunier, including 20–30% reserve wines from previous years.
