Ruinart Blanc de Blanc Champagne 750ml

A supple, harmonious attack on the palate, firm but rounded. A voluptuous texture and vinosity that is not excessive, supported by excellent freshness. A very refreshing mineral finish.

At first very intense on the nose, giving way to fresh fruit notes, particularly ripe citrus and exotic fruits (pineapple). A highly refined floral second nose with notes of linden and white fruits (white peach).

Beautiful pale yellow colour with glints of gold and green, a vibrant, luminous color. Active effervescence with a fine, persistent release of bubbles.

Critical Acclaim

94 Wine Enthusiast

Ruinart is a specialist in Blanc de Blancs Champagne. This wine is finely balanced between maturity and taut fresh, mineral-driven fruit. From the Cte des Blancs, the wine is poised and ready to drink.

93 Wine Spectator

A toasty blanc de blanc with an aromatic overtone of smoke and lemon peel notes accenting flavors of poached apricot, brioche, passion fruit coulis and fresh thyme. Fine and creamy in texture, with a racy finish. Best after 2022.

93 James Suckling

Very fresh and clean with lemon-pith, fresh sourdough and white-apricot aromas. Hint of almond, too. Refreshing and creamy on the palate, with fine bubbles and a bright, sleek finish. 2021 base, with 38% reserve wines. Disgorged early 2024. 7g/L dosage.

91 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

Based on the 2019 vintage and disgorged in 2022, Ruinart’s newly released NV Blanc de Blancs bursts with characteristically reductive aromas of yellow orchard fruit, citrus oil, iodine and toasted bread. Medium-bodied, pillowy and fleshy, with lively acids and a saline finish, it is an attractive Champagne that incorporates 20% reserve wines.

91 Jeb Dunnuck

Classic and springy, with a pastoral, fresh feel and a bright pale straw hue, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is the calling card for the house. This release is based on the 2020 vintage, with some reserves from 2019 and 2018, all raised in stainless steel tank and lifted with 7 grams per liter dosage. Opening to floral aromas as well as a note of salted white grapefruit and a hint of soft, chalky earth, it offers a fluffy mousse and a juicy palate, with notes of candied apple in a medium-bodied frame. A sleek and refreshing Champagne with an approachable kiss of sweet, ripe fruit, its going to hold up over the coming years, but I would prefer to enjoy it young to preserve its freshness.
