The wine presents an intense golden hue with green reflections, displaying silvery nuances that attest to its youthful character, supported by this late vintage. On the palate, the wine distinguishes itself with its straight and chiseled structure, once again supported by the wine’s crystalline freshness, in perfect harmony with the nose. The overall aromatic palette asserts itself with in- tensity and precision. Citrus aromas, in particular, find their extension in lively and fruity spicy fragrances, where peppery notes (white pepper, Sil Timur pepper) carry the wine’s length.

The Oldest Champagne House, Since 1729

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.

Food Pairings

Light, refined seafood dishes are the natural match—think turbot in champagne butter, fresh oysters, or parsnip royale. The bright acidity and complexity also lift firm white fish or creamy vegetable dishes like cauliflower mousseline.

What to Expect

From the glass, expect an intense golden hue with youthful green and silver glints. The bouquet offers a thrilling blend of toasty almonds, citrus zest, delicate florals, and chalky minerality—all anchored by a whisper of smoke. On the palate, it’s razor-sharp and structured, with crystalline freshness, spicy citrus tension, and a long, elegant finish.
