Ruinart Blanc de Blancs includes 25 to 30 different crus of chardonnay, mainly from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. They reflect the rich diversity of the Champagne terroir. Vinification begins with a manual harvest of grapes from the crus, including a 20-30% of reserve wine from different vintages. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at controlled temperature, followed by malolactic fermentation. Aging in the cellar for 2-3 years. Visually, the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs has a bright layer with a nice pale yellow color and light almond green and jade green reflections. The first nose reveals intense aromas of fresh fruit: ripe lemon, juicy pear or freshly picked peach. Secondary aromas are more floral with hints of white flowers, accompanied by a spicy touch combining ginger and pink peppercorns. On the palate, the balance between tension and roundness stands out, the enveloping structure is enhanced by fresh aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruits. Long and delicate finish. We recommend pairing this champagne with seafood or fish.
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut is a dry champagne (less than 12 g/L of sugar). The nose is very intense, with aromas of fresh fruit (citrus, white peaches, pineapple) and white flowers. The palate is agile and harmonious, round and fresh.
