drink-nowChampagne Ruinart, Blanc de Blancs, Brut

Founded in 1729, Ruinart was the very first Champagne House, and its Blanc de Blancs has always been the gold standard. Made from 100% Chardonnay, it is largely comprised of fruit from the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. The aromatics are wonderfully clear, with notes of recently picked citrus, floral honey and fresh bread. The palate is full of sweet lemon and crisp nectarine, with a taut, refreshing line of acidity beautifully supported by generous, rich fruit. This will respond excellently to a further couple of years in the cellar.
