The Winery
Ruinart
The House of Ruinart was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the city of Reims. The common thread among Ruinart’s cuvées is Chardonnay. Ruinart’s Blanc de Blancs is the sheer expression of freshness and exceptional purity. Explore the magnificent wines from this Champagne powerhouse.
Tasting Notes
- V96
- A mysterious, beguiling beauty, the 2002 Dom Ruinart Rose boasts fabulous intensity and pure resonance. Tangerine, exotic spices, mint, crushed rose petals and sweet red berries blossom in the glass. Still, my impression is that the 2002 is holding back much of its ultimate potential, as it remains tight and much less expressive than so many other wines of the year. When the 2002 finally emerges fully, it is going to be truly monumental. Disgorged September 2012. Rating: 96+
- WS95
- This is subtle up front, with delicate aromas and flavors of pink grapefruit granita, pickled ginger, spun honey and biscuit. The smoky underpinning of minerality gains momentum, riding the lacy mousse to a fresh and persistent finish. Drink now through 2027. 92 cases imported.
