On September 1st 1729, in Reims, at the heart of the Champagne region, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart, creating the world's first ever champagne-producing company. This gave rise to an enterprise that continues to flourish and to prosper nearly three hundred years later. The intuition of his uncle, the monk who had first shown him the way, had thus inspired an initiative that was to make history.

Ruinart carefully cultivates its vines, respecting ancestral traditions. Three grape varieties make up the blends of its cuvées: chardonnay, the Maison's emblem, pinot Noir and pinot Meunier. The grapes come mainly from the Côte des Blancs, where chardonnay is king, and from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Here, the grapes benefit from optimal sunshine, cultivated on chalky soils that perfectly regulate the vines' water status. This terroir produces taut, chiselled, powerful wines.

Tasting notes

NOSE
Delicate and Inviting

Fresh white fruits take center stage, with aromas of pear and Bosc apple leading the way. A touch of apricot and fresh almonds adds complexity. Subtle hints of elderflower and coriander seed provide a touch of floral and spicy intrigue.

PALATE
Balanced, Harmonious, Rounded

Balanced and harmonious, the R de Ruinart Brut NV offers a delightful interplay of flavours on the palate. Sweet notes of golden fruit, reminiscent of plum tarts and ripe drupes, dominate the initial sip. The texture is enveloping and round, showcasing the wine's richness. As the flavours develop, a refreshing touch of greengage and nectarine emerges, adding a layer of acidity that keeps the palate engaged.

FINISH
Long, Expressive, Fresh

The finish is long and expressive. The well-integrated dosage ensures the characteristic freshness of the Chardonnay remains prominent. Hints of ripe fruit linger on the palate, interwoven with a touch of minerality for a clean and invigorating aftertaste.
