It was then that Nicolas Ruinart, driven by the profound influence of his visionary monk uncle, drafted the historic charter that marked the birth of Maison Ruinart, forever etching its name as the world's pioneer in champagne production. Little did they know that this bold initiative would pave the way for an enduring enterprise that thrives and prospers even after nearly three centuries, leaving an indelible mark on the course of history. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the remarkable period of the mid-18th century, Ruinart made a significant acquisition to enhance its champagne production.

These extraordinary caverns served as the ideal sanctuary for storing their precious bottles, ensuring optimal aging and maturation. Building upon its reputation for innovation, Ruinart continued to push boundaries. In 1764, the House achieved yet another milestone by successfully shipping the first-ever Rosé champagne across the vast expanse of Europe.

This steadfast succession ensures the preservation of the family's legacy, as each successor devotes themselves to upholding the traditions and values that define Ruinart.

Adèle focused on vineyards and winemaking while Pierre Nicolas focused on sales and marketing. Shipments to Great Britain began in 1815, followed by the United States in 1837. After Charles Perrier, Henri Gallice and his younger brother Octave became Perrier-Jouët directors. Octave, an art lover, met Emile Gallé in Paris and requested a design for Maison Perrier-Jouët, which became the iconic emblem of the brand. One of the world's oldest champagnes, a Perrier-Jouët vintage 1825, was opened and tasted in 2009. Harold Macmillan, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1957 to 1963, favoured vintage Perrier-Jouët. This passion has been passed down through the generations, shaping the House's philosophy of creative freedom and unconventional observation of nature. Maison Perrier-Jouët's affinity with the Art Nouveau movement is expressed through the emblematic anemone motif illustrated by Emile Gallé in 1902. Today, the House continues to reinvent luxury by collaborating with artists to create an extravagant universe. Along with their unique legacy, such as the creation of their first brut champagne in 1842 and the iconic floral Cuvée named Belle Epoque Cuvée, Perrier-Jouët also made history with the appointment of the first woman to hold the position of cellar master in 2020. Perrier-Jouët produces a wide range of vintage and non-vintage cuvée, with an annual production of approximately 3,000,000 bottles. The pride of the brand is its prestige label, Belle Epoque. With 266 acres of vineyards situated in the heart of Champagne, Perrier-Jouët maintains control over the quality and consistency of its champagne production. More than half of its vineyards are located in the Grand Crus of Cramant and Avize, allowing Perrier-Jouët to create exceptional champagne that is unparalleled in quality and taste. Today, as a member of the Pernod Ricard group of brands, Perrier-Jouët's legacy of exceptional champagne-making continues to thrive and evolve. Through their dedication to quality and innovation, Perrier-Jouët remains one of the most respected and iconic champagne brands in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-testid=\"youchat-text\" class=\"sc-a6dfc828-0 jJxHux\"\u003ePerrier-Jouët Blanc de Blancs is a champagne that beautifully showcases Perrier-Jouët's exceptional savoir-faire in revealing the true essence of the Chardonnay grape. It is a testament to the House's rich history and commitment to crafting exquisite champagnes that transcend time. Dating back around a hundred years, Perrier-Jouët introduced its first all-Chardonnay cuvées in the 1920s, long before champagnes made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes became known as \"Blanc de Blancs\". This tradition of crafting Blanc de Blancs champagnes has been perpetuated by Perrier-Jouët, solidifying its reputation as a pioneer in the world of champagne. Perrier-Jouët Blanc de Blanc is a celebration of the pure and delicate qualities of Chardonnay. It is crafted from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes, grown in the finest vineyards of the Champagne region.

If you were looking for a Burgundian analogy, you could think of Selosse as Lafon to Agrapart’s Coche. Both are in the same village, crafting wine of exceptional quality, yet making wines that are very, very different. To compare, Agrapart picks earlier and uses larger, older wood and bottles earlier, resulting in wines that are less influenced by oxygen.

Through this cuvée, relaunched in 2018, two of the House’s areas of expertise come together: the production of great white wines and the art of blending a large selection of wines from different years and terroirs.

The soil of Les Béguines is a layer-cake of calcareous (Thanetian) sand, over clay, over more calcareous sand. Inherited from Jérôme’s grandmother, the site was planted in the 1960s with an old, slow-growing, less productive rootstock that descends deeply. Les Béguines is close to 100% Pinot Meunier, although there is now a small amount of 10-year-old Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc that has been planted next to the Pinot Meunier parcel (these vines represent roughly 6% of the blend). The vineyard management is organic, with the soils cultivated and yields kept at balanced levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, the wine was vinified without any additions, in large-format used barrels for 10 months, and bottled unfiltered. Prévost disgorged this release after 18 months on lees and added three grams per litre dosage. Historically this wine was always from the same vintage, however the last two releases have seen a significant change and reserve wine is now included. It’s a game changer—the wines are now even more complex and far more approachable from an early age. This is already stunning. We’ll leave the detailed description to William Kelley but let’s just say that it’s a deep, layered Les Béguines with the base coming from a truly great vintage. Without doubt it’s one of the finest releases of this wine to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe NV Extra Brut Les Béguines LC 19 showed brilliantly once again, bursting with aromas of orange rind, orchard fruit, red berries and peach, mingled with notions of walnuts and marzipan, as well as telltale hints of warm spices and fenugreek.

These crus are sourced from the most esteemed terroirs of Champagne. This remarkable diversity, a distinctive feature of the house, contributes to the complexity and vibrant aromatic freshness found in their blends. The house maintains 20 hectares of their own vineyards, situated in esteemed locations such as the Montagne de Reims, encompassing Aÿ Grand Cru and Dizy, as well as the Côte des Blancs, including Chouilly and Oger, both classified as Grands Crus. Additionally, they have vineyards in Champvoisy and Passy-Grigny in the Vallée de la Marne.
