The R de Ruinart is a refined non-vintage Brut Champagne from Ruinart, the oldest Champagne house, founded in 1729. Blending 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 20% Pinot Meunier from Premier and Grand Cru vineyards, it displays a pale gold hue with fine bubbles and a vibrant nose of green apple, citrus, and brioche, with hints of white flowers and chalky minerality. The palate is balanced and fresh, with crisp acidity, a creamy mousse, and a smooth finish, with a medium dosage (8 g/L) and 3+ years of lees aging. Perfect with seafood, poultry, or soft cheeses, it’s a versatile choice for aperitifs or dining. Drinking beautifully now, it’s best enjoyed fresh to capture its vibrant fruit, though it can age for 3-5 years. This R de Ruinart showcases the house’s Chardonnay-driven style, offering a refined Champagne for enthusiasts seeking elegance, balance, and tradition in a non-vintage cuvée.
