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

Pinot noir
Production method
Produced with the classic method, which involves two fermentations, the second of which takes place in the bottle. It is made mainly with Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, coming from vineyards classified as Premier Crus. The blend also includes vin de reserve grapes from the two previous harvests and Pinot noir vinified in red. The wine is aged on the lees for 36 months.
Alcoholic content
12,5%
Tasting notes
Light pink color with onion skin nuances. On the nose notes of red fruits, raisins, ripe figs, wild strawberries, balsamic hints and pastry notes. Delicate, elegant on the palate, it reveals a nice minerality and some structure on the finish.
Possible combinations
Ideal as a delicate pairing champagne; it lends itself to cured meats, cheeses, first courses with tomato sauce or gourmet dishes. Great for a special toast!
