Ruinart Maison
While studying in the Champagne region, Dom Thierry discovered the secrets of sparkling wine, which was beginning to gain popularity among the French aristocracy, although it was still far from the refined Champagne we know today.
Among the grape varieties authorized for Champagne production, Chardonnay, grown in the region’s distinctive chalk-rich soils, is considered the ideal grape thanks to the complexity, freshness, and elegance it brings to the wine. For this reason, it has always been the signature variety of Ruinart’s Champagnes.
The wines are aged in the house’s historic chalk cellars, carved deep beneath the city of Reims. Ruinart’s non-vintage Champagnes mature for a minimum of three years, while exceptional vintage cuvées are aged for nine to ten years before being bottled in the house’s iconic curved bottle, inspired by the original design used in the 18th century.
Composed of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, with the addition of reserve wines from previous vintages, Ruinart Brut Rosé beautifully balances the structure and character of Pinot Noir with the freshness and elegance of Chardonnay. The result is a Champagne with delicate pomegranate-pink hues, a refined, persistent mousse, and expressive aromas and flavors of guava, lychee, and wild red berries.
Bottom Line
Nearly 300 years of timeless Champagne excellence.
