Description

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, intensely aromatic and refreshingly pure, is the signature champagne of the maison, crafted exclusively from chardonnay grapes grown in the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. Blended from 25 to 30 different crus, including 20 to 30 percent reserve wines, it captures the full breadth of Champagne’s chalky elegance. Bright, smooth and luminous, this blanc de blancs is a textbook expression of finesse and elegance that have made Ruinart a global favourite.

The vibrant yellow green colour is on full display in the clear glass bottle, but it needs to be protected from light. Perhaps complaining at this price is churlish, for the wine rides on the wings of flowery, lemon blossom aromas and an almost razor-sharp linearity to the wonderfully long palate leaving the mouth fresh, thirsting for more. 95 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion Magazine
