The Chardonnay grape is the soul of the Maison Ruinart. Its grapes, coming mainly from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, are the fulcrum of all its Cuvées. A great classic, an assembly consisting of Chardonnay's 40%, Pinot Noir's 49% and Meunier's 11%, comprising from 20 to 25% of reserve wines from the two previous vintages. The result is a particularly reliable Champagne, balanced and relaxed, very fine, always characterized by that volume and richness that distinguish the Ruinart style.
It is bright and clear, yellow in color with golden reflections. The brightness is remarkable, the effervescence is sustained, with a very persistent perlage. The first nose is a fine and fresh wine, fruity with notes of white pulp fruits (pear, rennet apple), apricot, but also hazelnuts and fresh almonds. Some floral and spicy notes give it further complexity. The second nose reveals a great olfactory intensity with more marked notes of brioche and biscuit. The attack on the palate is very decisive. The wine is balanced, quite round and pulpy, with aromas of ripe fruit (queen claudia and pescanoce). The finish is long, the well-integrated dosage gives way to the characteristic freshness of Chardonnay, very present in the assembly.
A perfect Champagne for an aperitif in all circumstances, which can also be served with an appetizer to accompany light and delicate dishes such as poached oysters, plancha-style scallops or with the main course, such as sole alla mugnaia. It can also accompany short-aged cheeses, such as a very creamy Chaource or Langres.
