Ruinart Blanc de Blancs

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs: the pure expression of Chardonnay

The Champagne Ruinart Blanc de Blancs embodies the style of the oldest champagne house. Made primarily from premier cru Chardonnay, this cuvée delights with its freshness, elegance, and silky texture. It precisely expresses the signature of the House of Ruinart: luminous, refined champagnes driven by great aromatic purity.

Recognizable by its iconic bottle with unique curves, this champagne pairs well with both a refined aperitif and a gourmet meal. Its delicate profile appeals to both discerning enthusiasts and those seeking a great blanc de blancs.

A champagne crafted by a historic house

Founded in 1729, Maison Ruinart holds a special place in the Champagne world. As the first house officially established in Champagne, it has made its mark through a know-how centered on Chardonnay.

The Blanc de Blancs reflects this identity with precision. The grapes come from renowned terroirs in the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais, and the Vallée de la Vesle. This diversity allows for a balanced cuvée, between mineral tension and luscious roundness.

The winemaking aims primarily for finesse. Each blend seeks a subtle balance between freshness, fruit, and complexity.

Why choose Ruinart Blanc de Blancs?

Choosing this champagne means opting for a cuvée with a clear and elegant personality. Its airy style contrasts with more wine-like or powerful champagnes.

On the palate, the initial notes evoke fresh citrus, candied lemon, and white flowers. Following this are more indulgent aromas of white peach, pineapple, and sometimes a slight brioche touch.

In the mouth, the attack remains vibrant. The texture then gains in amplitude before yielding to a fresh and persistent finish.

This aromatic profile makes it a versatile champagne. It is equally convincing at a festive moment or at the heart of a more ambitious gastronomic pairing.

It pairs perfectly with:

An ideal champagne for special occasions

It also constitutes an excellent cellar bottle for those who enjoy keeping certain cuvées for a few years. Even when young, its balance is already impressive.

How to store a prestige champagne?

Like all great champagnes, this bottle deserves some care in storage.

Favor a dark, temperature-stable place, away from vibrations. A cellar between 10 and 12°C is ideal. If you don’t have a suitable space, short-term storage in a cool place works very well.

Before tasting, avoid excessive chilling. A temperature that is too low masks the aromas of Chardonnay.
