Description

History

Ruinart is the oldest champagne house in the area, founded in Reims in 1729 thanks to Nicolas Ruinart, the grandson of Dom Thierry Ruinart who had always aspired to create a company with his name for the production of this wine. Initially, the Ruinart family did not only sell champagne and began by giving away bottles of champagne to the customers of their other business, but only after 6 years did the family manage to devote themselves entirely to the production of Champagne.

Grapes used

100% Chardonnay

Production method

The champagne production method involves bottle fermentation, where the base wine and sugar are mixed and bottled with added yeast. After a long period of rest, the lees are removed with the dégorgement technique. Subsequently, the liquor d’expédition is added, a mixture of sugar and wine, which determines the degree of sweetness. The final cap allows the wine to maintain its effervescence. The process takes at least 15 months, but the best champagnes age for decades. The production area is the French region of Champagne, where the grapes must be grown according to strict standards.

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Intense straw yellow color, with a golden note, very fine and elegant perlage. On the nose and on the palate it has aromas of toasted almonds, coffee, fresh fruit, crusty bread and butter. In the mouth it is slightly sapid and maintains great freshness. It lends itself to combinations with elegant and refined dishes such as lobster carpaccio.
