Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV is one of Champagne’s most iconic expressions of Chardonnay, combining brightness, finesse, and a distinctly creamy texture. From one of the oldest houses in Champagne, it reflects Ruinart’s long-standing reputation for elegant, mineral-driven sparkling wines with a modern, polished style.
Tasting Notes
Pale yellow-gold in the glass, this Blanc de Blancs opens with a deeply perfumed nose of smoked citrus, ripe fruit, and a clear mineral edge. As it develops, floral notes and hints of ginger emerge, alongside subtle touches of iodine and tarragon.
On the palate, it is broad and generous, showing roasted orange and pear flavors wrapped around a dusty mineral core. Full malolactic fermentation brings a supple, rounded feel, while the lively acidity and firm finish keep the wine energetic and precise. With its balance of richness and lift, it has the structure to hold beautifully over time.
Production
Made entirely from Chardonnay in Champagne, this non-vintage cuvée is crafted with full malolactic fermentation and a dosage of 9 g/l, resulting in a textured yet vibrant style. Ruinart’s focus on Chardonnay highlights the grape’s ability to express chalky minerality, freshness, and aromatic complexity in the region’s cool terroir.
Food & Serving
Ideal with oysters, scallops, lobster, sushi, or refined poultry dishes, as well as aged hard cheeses and lightly spiced seafood. Serve well chilled at 8–10°C; decanting is not necessary, though a short time in the glass will help the aromatics open fully.
Producer
Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne house and one of the most respected names in the region. Known for its dedication to Chardonnay and its elegant house style, Ruinart has helped define the benchmark for refined Blanc de Blancs Champagne and remains a standout producer in Champagne today.
