    • Description

      Two years of research and development were needed to get back to the essential: a 100% paper and entirely recyclable case, moulded to the shape of the bottle. This case is 9 times lighter than its predecessor and produced without incurring any airfreight, resulting in a 60% reduction in its carbon impact. A pioneer in the champagne trade, the Ruinart House has stood out due to its unique know-how and history. At first very intense on the nose, with fresh fruit notes, particularly ripe citrus fruits. A second refined floral nose with notes of white flowers and fruits (white peaches, pineapple). A supple, harmonious attack on the palate, very rounded. Vinosity that is not excessive, supported by excellent freshness. Notes of nectarines, citrus fruits with a pleasant mineral quality in the finish. Long, very refreshing finish. A vibrant, clear yellow colour with golden reflections. Good brilliance with sustained effervescence and a very persistent foam.

    Ruinart

    Since its foundation in 1729, the first established House of Champagne has taken pride in the excellence of its Cuvées. The unique shape of its bottle is a tribute to the historic bottles of the eighteenth century. Chardonnay plays a fundamental role and constitutes the very soul of Ruinart wines. The grape, mainly harvested from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs, is at the heart of all Ruinart Cuvées. One of the most iconic features of this Champagne house is The Crayères. Dug almost 2000 years ago, these ancient chalk tunnels create an 8-kilometre labyrinth of galleries up to 38 meters below ground. These chalk quarries have continued to be used for cellaring their bottles for over a century; the underground galleries creating the perfect environment for aging at 90% humidity. The Crayères in the French city of Reims were officially classified as a historical monument in 1931 and Ruinart now offers public discovery visits of these magnificent cellars.
