Now owned by LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne house, exclusively producing Champagne since 1729. A pioneer in the champagne trade, Ruinart was one of the very first official act establishing France’s First Champagne House.

Ruinart's NV Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne is probably its most famous style of Champagne and is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes, sourced from Grand Cru& Premier Cru vineyard in the Côtes des Blancs and Montagne de Reims areasof Champagne, and from the best of recent vintages.

The feature that sets this stainless steel fermented wine apart from other Blanc de Blancs is the combination of grapes from both the Côtes de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, giving it a more rounded style.

"This Champagne has a strong following and it's easy to see why with the attractive ripe chardonnay fruits delivering white and yellow peach, mango, nectarine and lemon cream aromas and flavors.Smooth, sorbet-like palate.” James Suckling

Tasting Notes: A delicate and elegant wine with a very fine bead. The nose is floral with acacia and honeysuckle which slip harmoniously onto the silky rich palate. Delicious on all accounts this is always one of our most popular Champagnes. A supple, harmonious feeling 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.
