Ruinart is a low profile, yet select, Champagne house which is steeped in history. It dates back to the 17th century, the time of the famous Dom Pérignon. It was founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart in the city of Reims, the year after a Royal Decree in 1728 whereby Louis XV gave his consent for sparkling wines to be shipped in baskets containing 50 to 100 bottles. This opened the gates of Europe to champagne and thus makes Ruinart the oldest Champagne House. Nicolas' uncle was Dom Thierry Ruinart, close friend to Dom Pérignon himself and an inspiration behind the creation of this house after the Dom’s death. Its Gallo-Roman chalk cellars are now a UNESCO-classified historical monument and every two years the finest sommeliers in Europe gather there to compete for the Trophée Ruinart. 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir, with 18% of the latter being vinified red wine (rather than saignée Rosé).

Opening with a parade of enticing aromas, citrus, tangy raspberry and soft brioche notes.

A delicate yet powerful and intense Rosé that displays incredible depth and texture for this style of wine. The flavours in the palate echo these characters enhancing its opulence and generosity, furthering its general intrigue. Engaging and deeply flavoursome wine offering immediate enjoyment with the promise to reward over the next couple of years as well.
