The legacy of a great Champagne house

Founded in Reims in 1729, Ruinart is considered the oldest Champagne house. For nearly three centuries, it has cultivated an identity based on elegance, precision, and the valorization of Chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of its style.

The wines age particularly in the famous chalk cellars of Reims, former chalk quarries listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, where the natural conditions provide ideal temperature and humidity for aging champagnes.

The history of the house and its heritage are presented on the official website of Ruinart: https://www.ruinart.com.

Ruinart Rose: a blend of remarkable finesse

This cuvée primarily combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, part of which is vinified as red to bring the color and aromatic richness characteristic of great rosé champagnes.

The Chardonnay provides tension, freshness, and floral elegance.

The Pinot Noir contributes to the structure, red fruits, and length on the palate.

The blend is crafted with great precision to achieve a consistent balance from one vintage to the next. This consistency is one of the signatures of the house.

An elegant tasting experience

The color presents a delicate salmon pink hue with slightly coppery reflections, animated by fine and regular effervescence.

The nose opens with aromas of raspberry, pomegranate, wild strawberry, and fresh cherry. Gradually, notes of citrus, rose petals, exotic fruits, and a slight spicy touch emerge.

On the palate, the attack is lively and precise. The texture is silky, supported by beautiful freshness. The red fruits dominate before giving way to nuances of citrus peels and white flowers.

The finish is persistent and delicate, highlighting the elegance of this cuvée.
