There are four treasured varieties you can sample when you decide to \u003cstrong\u003ebuy Ruinart champagne in Australia.\u003c\/strong\u003e To unlock the other mysteries behind the label, you'll need to get yourself to Europe (like you needed an excuse for that anyway!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut before you rush off to get your plane ticket, let me tell you for a moment about each of these four irresistible Ruinart champagne styles you can get right here at home. First up is the lowest priced member of the range, a straight-up 100% Chardonnay – or Blanc de Blancs, if you prefer the technically correct term – in true Brut style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing you'll notice about it is the clear glass bottle, which presents an image of virgin purity. It looks suspiciously like an ordinary bottle of white wine until you pop the cork and unleash the vigorous energy this deceptively simple bottle contains within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis champagne is a delight on its own, but pair it with grilled fish or light seafood, and it's a match made in Heaven. Or maybe France. Is there a difference? The 2004 reserve of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRuinart Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e was very special and it's getting even harder to get hold of. Another reserve that requires a mention is the 2007 edition, and you really couldn't go wrong with either one. It is not typical. It's a very dry and intense champagne.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tastes of the region come through in so many ways, and there's even an odd suggestion of tobacco leaves in the aromatics of it.

This one comes in a very dark bottle and is made from a blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir. This gives it a very dry and crisp profile for a Rosé style champagne. If you'd prefer something a little less dry, you need to switch the word order on the label when you make your selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ruinart Brut Rosé is a smoother blend of 55% Pinot Noir to 45% Chardonnay. You can tell the difference by looking at the bottle. The Rosé Brut has a charming pink label, while the label Brut Rosé could only be described as \"budget orange\". But when you taste it, you'll know there's nothing cheap about it. It's a complex and indulgent rosé champagne, with a deeper flavour than you'd normally expect from any champagne style. You get an intense strawberry, mingling with cherry and peaches. Marvellous stuff, and considerably different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe backstory of Ruinart Champagne\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI'll tell you a few things about what makes this incredible champagne so intriguing, along with the fact that but for a twist of fate you may have missed out on the chance of trying it altogether. The thing is, Ruinart almost lived up to its name. Once teetering on the brink of ruin (a trait it shares with the much more internationally famous Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin), it was saved by sheer force of will of the owners. That's probably something they learned from Madame Clicquot, also.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shocking truth is that Dom Ruinart is the oldest of all champagne houses. Ruinart was founded in 1729 by Dom Thierry Ruinart, and he sold his first batch in 1730, just a few months later. No long fermentation process, because it was still a new technique and nobody knew what the possibilities were. It certainly wasn't called \"champagne\" in those days but was known by the somewhat less inspiring title of Vin Avec des Bulles (\"wine with bubbles\"). It could not, of course, be known as champagne wine, because it would take a considerable time for that style of winemaking to be associated with the region that it originated in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompetitors were not far behind in copying the style, but it was a style that took some time to get going. The champagne house that changed all that was Veuve Clicquot, the most daring and bold of them all. Madame Cliquot had recognized that France had an overabundance of champagne, while many other European countries did not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer vision was to make her business primarily an export business, but it was a vision hampered by the fact that France was at war. Napoleon's enemies refused any legal import of French products, while England's naval resources made smuggling a risky business. Seizing a small window of opportunity, the now famous widow staked everything on a huge gamble, defying the law of three countries to bring her small business back from the brink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWar, too, was almost the ruin of Ruinart. In this case, it was the effects of two world wars, which robbed the estate of much of its usable territory. Ruinart had never been a quantity producer, always focused on making a very small batches of high quality. Even so, they would not have expected that by 1946 they'd have only two significant customers left (and just to make the whole situation even more scandalous, one of those customers was \u003cem\u003eLe Sphinx,\u003c\/em\u003e one of the bawdiest brothels in the nation).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe owners of Ruinart solved their problem by adopting the exact opposite strategy to that employed by Clicquot. Instead of aggressively chasing the export market, they instead put their effort into selling within France. This is why the brand is not well known outside its country of origin, despite the notoriety of being the oldest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNow is your chance to buy Ruinart champagne online\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you haven't tried \u003cb\u003eDom Ruinart champagne \u003c\/b\u003eyet, you can get it online from Emperor Champagne.
