Interesting facts
The champagne is crafted in the Ruinart tradition exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru Chardonnay grapes. Grapes from vineyards in Sillery and Brimont (the ancestral home of the Ruinart family) are blended with carefully selected grapes from vineyards in Cote de Blancs and Montagne de Reims. This is a very harmonious drink. The Chardonnay blend envelops the palate with a warm, fruity, well-balanced flavor. It is the only Blanc de Blancs whose fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks, giving it a rounder style. The champagne is aged on its lees for three years. It is bottled in an original bottle design created for Ruinart back in the 18th century.
About the Manufacturer
The House of Ruinart has a very long history. Benedictine monk Thierry Ruinart, traveling through Europe, noticed a great interest in champagne from the aristocracy. Legend has it that he studied the production of champagne wines at the House of Perrignon itself. Thierry Ruinart passed his knowledge to his brother, who opened this business with his son Nicolas Ruinart. The official founding date of the House of Ruinart is considered to be 1729. Very quickly, Ruinart champagne became popular not only in France but also beyond its borders. In the early 18th century, the next family representative — Claude Ruinart de Brimont — opened offices in Belgium, Germany, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, and Russia. Royalty from many countries have preferred this magnificent drink for nearly 300 years. Nicholas I officially appointed Dom Ruinart as the supplier to the Russian Imperial Court. The main common feature of Ruinart champagne's taste is its tenderness and long aging, nobility, refinement, and elegance.
