Reviews:

• Falstaff: Light greenish yellow, silver reflections, fine persistent mousse. White apple fruit with a hint of lime zest, delicate hazelnut, candied orange zest. Juicy, fine yellow tropical fruit, pleasant acidity, mineral touch, discreet blossom honey on the finish; versatile.

• Wine Enthusiast: Ruinart, one of Champagne’s oldest brands, produces a fresh, delicate style of non-vintage, with a soft mousse and good bottle age toast and yeast. The wine is edged with citrus, giving a fresh, apritif style of Champagne.

Producer Information

Champagne Ruinart was one of the first Champagne houses, established in 1729. It takes its name from the Benedictine monk Dom Ruinart, whose writings on Champagne were passed down through his family and resulted in the Maison Ruinart we know today. Dom Ruinart was born in Champagne in 1657, and died in 1709. He moved from his home to an abbey just outside of Paris, where he began to learn about the “wine with bubbles”, which was very popular among the young aristocrats of the time. He believed it could be made best on the soils of his hometown. Upon his death in 1709, he left many books containing his writings on this to his nephew Nicolas Ruinart and, 20 years later, Maison Ruinart was founded. The Ruinart house was passed through the family for the next two centuries, during which time they were the first to ship ros Champagne, as well as being the first to ship their bottles in wooden cases. From humble beginnings, the house now produces almost 2 million bottles a year and is currently owned by luxury brand superpower LVMH. Ruinart owns vineyards across the Champagne region, predominantly in the Ctes de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The house style is Pinot Noir-dominant, but the wine’s flavor profile tends to favor Chardonnay.
