"Light orange. Sharply focused red berry and tangerine scents are complicated by suggestions of allspice and cinnamon, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and minerally on the palate, offering fresh strawberry and blood orange flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight and finishes stony and very long, with echoing red berry character." -Vinous, 92VM
Ruinart Champagne holds legendary acclaim as the world’s oldest established Champagne house, founded in 1729, and is universally revered for its signature Chardonnay-led elegance and exceptional craftsmanship. Renowned for its freshness, purity, and luminous profile, Ruinart's prestigious cuvées—particularly the iconic Blanc de Blancs and the masterfully aged Dom Ruinart—consistently earn top scores from global wine critics and sommeliers alike. Beyond its crisp, sophisticated flavor profile characterized by notes of white flowers, citrus, and toasted brioche, the house is highly celebrated for its deep cultural ties to the art world and its historic, UNESCO-listed Crayères (ancient chalk cellars), which provide the perfect environment for aging some of the finest sparkling wines in existence.
