Winemaker Notes
Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs opens with an elegant bouquet of hazelnut, nashi pear, orange zest, and delicate floral notes of hyacinth, layered with hints of bread dough, Sichuan pepper, and subtle smokiness. On the palate, it is vibrant and youthful, balancing brisk acidity with a creamy texture, offering flavors of citrus, chalk, dried fruits, and pastry. The wine’s depth is enhanced by its long lees aging, giving complexity and finesse, while the finish lingers with spice, white pepper, and a refined mineral edge that promises excellent aging potential.
About Winery
Ruinart Champagne is the oldest established Champagne house, founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart in Reims, France. The inspiration came from his uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk who foresaw the potential of sparkling wine long before it became popular. Initially, Ruinart Champagne was offered as a gift to clients of the family’s cloth business, but its success led Nicolas to abandon textiles and focus solely on Champagne production by 1735. Ruinart was also among the first to age its wines in the ancient chalk quarries (crayères) beneath Reims, which provide ideal conditions for maturation. Over the centuries, Ruinart has become renowned for its elegant, Chardonnay-driven cuvées and its deep connection to the arts, maintaining a legacy of innovation and refinement in the world of fine Champagne.
