Founded in 1729, Ruinart holds the prestigious title of being the oldest Champagne house in history. Established by Nicolas Ruinart in Reims, the house’s vision was inspired by his uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart — a Benedictine monk whose insight into the growing importance of sparkling wine in French society shaped its future. From the very beginning, Ruinart has been synonymous with elegance, finesse, and an unwavering dedication to chardonnay, the grape that defines its luminous, fresh style. Today, nearly three centuries later, Ruinart continues to craft champagnes of exceptional purity and refinement, beloved by connoisseurs across the globe.
At the heart of Ruinart’s identity is chardonnay — delicate, aromatic, and expressive. This varietal forms the foundation of the house style, giving every cuvée a signature freshness, refined texture, and graceful length. From the Blanc de Blancs to the prestige Dom Ruinart, each wine is a masterclass in balance and luminosity. The house’s chalk cellars — Les Crayères — are a UNESCO World Heritage site, providing the perfect environment for slow, patient maturation. Steeped in history yet always forward-looking, Ruinart has a rare gift for combining tradition with innovation.
Ruinart is more than champagne — it is an ambassador of French art de vivre. The house has a long history of collaborations with celebrated contemporary artists, pairing the elegance of its wines with creative expressions that celebrate beauty, culture, and craftsmanship. Whether enjoyed in the intimate glow of a dinner party or as the centrepiece of a grand celebration, Ruinart offers a timeless taste of refinement, making every occasion unforgettable.
