Champagne Brut
Blanc de Blancs "second skin"

The Champagne Blanc de Blancs "second skin" by Ruinart comes in an innovative, eco-designed case, made from 100% recyclable paper and shaped to follow the curves of the bottle. It is 9 times lighter than the previous model and, produced without any recourse to air transport, reduces its carbon footprint by 60% — the crowning achievement of the House's commitment to environmental sustainability. Inside lies the emblematic Blanc de Blancs cuvée of the oldest Champagne House, founded in 1729: a true tribute to Chardonnay, which since 1947 has defined its style rooted in freshness. It is born from a rigorous selection of crus sourced mainly from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, a reflection of the richness and diversity of the Champagne terroir.

This cuvée takes shape from a blend of Chardonnay alone, drawn from a range of 25 to 30 different crus, enriched by a proportion of between 20% and 30% of vin de réserve from various vintages to ensure the consistency of the House's style. Vinification and fermentation take place at controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks and continue with malolactic fermentation, followed by 36 months of ageing on the lees, up to a final dosage in the Brut style, which rounds out the profile with balance and heightens the aromatic finesse of this Champagne.

On tasting, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs it stands out for its freshness, purity and roundness rather than its power, revealing a bright, pale-yellow robe shot through with light almond-green and jade-green highlights, animated by a fine and delicate perlage. The nose opens with intense aromas of fresh fruit such as ripe citron, juicy pear and freshly picked peach, followed by more floral notes of white flowers accompanied by a spicy touch that weaves ginger together with pink pepper. On the palate, the crystalline freshness of Chardonnay meets a silky, elegant texture, supported by a refined minerality and a long, aromatic persistence — a luminous and slender profile that translates, with simplicity and naturalness, all the elegance held within this grape variety.
