Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs

Chardonnay er selve sjælen i Ruinart. Druerne, hovedsageligt høstet fra Côte des Blancs og Montagne de Reims terroirs, er kernen i alle Ruinart´s cuvéer.

I næsen frisk frugt med dominerende noter af citrus og eksotiske frugter, efterfulgt af et strejf af jasmin, hvide ferskner og lyserøde peberkorn.

Ganen er ren, har strålende balance mellem rundhed og glathed

"The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a great introduction to the house style. This elegant, fragrant wine offers up an array of smoke, toastiness, minerals, ripe pears and flowers. The medium-bodied NV Blanc de Blancs offers tons of clarity and precision at this level, with the lingering Ruinart sweetness on the finish."

Ruinart is Champagne's oldest house, with a history that dates back to 1729. The wines are quite well-known around the world, but less so in the US, where the estate is making an effort to re-establish its presence. Today the wines are made under the guidance of Chef de Caves Frederic Panaiotis, who clearly has an outsize passion for these Champagnes as well as the house's rich heritage. Although Ruinart is best known for their vintage Blanc de Blancs, the Rose is perhaps even more fascinating, particularly after a few years in bottle, which in important vintages allows for the Pinot Noir to speak with great eloquence. The Ruinart wines tend to be medium in body and are made with levels of dosage that are closer to the high end of the spectrum. Although the back labels show codes which can be tracked to disgorgement dates, it would be nice to see Ruinart provide disgorgement dates for its wines.
