Chardonnay is the heart and soul of Champagne Ruinart, and this exotically opulent Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru Chardonnay from both the Côtes de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. With a rich, full, creamy palate, Ruinart’s Blanc de Blancs, offers ripe citrus and orchard fruit flavors accented by smoke and subtle minerality.
The first scents of Ruinart’s NV Blanc de Blancs are floral in character, accompanied by aromas of lemon oil, spices and citrus blossoms. It’s medium-bodied and perfectly balanced on the palate, with a round, seamless texture that segues into a mouthwatering, ethereal finish. It should age well for five to eight years.
Classic and springy, with a pastoral, fresh feel and a bright pale straw hue, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is the calling card for the house. This release is based on the 2020 vintage, with some reserves from 2019 and 2018, all raised in stainless steel tank and lifted with 7 grams per liter dosage. Opening to floral aromas as well as a note of salted white grapefruit and a hint of soft, chalky earth, it offers a fluffy mousse and a juicy palate, with notes of candied apple in a medium-bodied frame. A sleek and refreshing Champagne with an approachable kiss of sweet, ripe fruit, it’s going to hold up over the coming years, but I would prefer to enjoy it young to preserve its freshness.
