Champagne Ruinart

Millésime 2016

The Champagne Millésime by Ruinart tells the story of the elegance and finesse that have always distinguished this historic Maison, while expressing the contrasting character of a unique vintage. Born from the prestigious Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, this wine celebrates Chardonnay as the guiding thread of a philosophy that seeks purity, tension and aromatic depth in respect of the Champagne terroir.

This edition, Vintage 2016, shows a predominance of Chardonnay grapes at 48%, alongside Pinot Noir at 32% and Meunier at 20%, in a vintage marked by a cool, wet spring followed by a hot, dry summer that gave great expressiveness and concentration. Vinification and fermentation take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruity aromas, with a malolactic fermentation that softens the acidity towards a creamy profile. After the tirage comes an ageing of at least six years on the lees, with a final dosage of 5 g/l, in a Brut style.

On the palate, Ruinart Millésime 2016 reveals a perfect balance between roundness and vivacity, sustained by a saline minerality that lends depth and drive to its profile. The texture is broad and harmonious, where ripe fruit aromas intertwine with citrus nuances in a precise and dynamic progression. The persistence is long and vibrant, closing on a freshness typically linked to Chardonnay that leaves a clean and inviting trail.

Ruinart

Founded on 1 September 1729 in Reims, Maison Ruinart is the oldest Maison of Champagne in the world. It was conceived by Nicolas Ruinart, inspired by the insights of his uncle Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk, theologian and historian who was the first to grasp the allure of sparkling wine. Since then the family has guided the Maison without interruption for nearly three centuries, passing down from generation to generation a vision that in 1817 led it to nobility, under the name Ruinart de Brimont.

Its authentic spirit lives in Reims, within the famous crayères, ancient chalk quarries carved out in Gallo-Roman times, descending to a depth of thirty-eight metres in a labyrinth of galleries laid out over several levels. Here, at a constant temperature and in absolute silence, the Maison's cuvées rest. Since 2015 this extraordinary heritage has been inscribed on the UNESCO list, guardian of an identity whose unmistakable signature is Chardonnay, a byword for elegance and luminous freshness.

The vineyards stretch across the most gifted terroirs, from the Côte des Blancs to the slopes of the Montagne de Reims, where Chardonnay meets Pinot Noir and Meunier on ideal chalky soils. Among the parcels stand out the Grand Cru of Sillery, still linked to the descendants of the family, and Taissy, mentioned in the archives as early as 1733. Certified Haute Valeur Environnementale and Viticulture Durable en Champagne, the Maison cultivates its future with respect. A refined invitation to discover the purest art of Champagne.
