Ruinart, Champagne, Blanc de Blancs

Founded in 1729 in Reims, Ruinart holds the distinction of being the first established Champagne house in history. The grapes for this wine are made from Chardonnay, sourced primarily from the chalky soils of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. In the glass, the wine offers clear notes of fresh lemon, white peach, and a subtle hint of ginger, all held together by a structured, creamy texture. This is a consistently balanced bottle that is ready to enjoy tonight, though its firm acidity allows it to hold well in the cellar for those who prefer more secondary development.
