Champagne Ruinart
Rosé "second skin"

Ruinart Rosé is the result of an assemblage of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, mostly coming from Premier Crus villages, with 20 to 25% vins de reserve from the two previous vintages. It is 45% Chardonnay from the renowed Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims and 55% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and Vallée della Marne, of which 18-19% vinified in red.

The colour is pink with orange reflexes. Its effervescence is lively and light and has a persistent perlage. It smells fresh and delicate and offers at first a taste of exotic fruit and red berries (raspberry, cherry, strawberry). Its touches of rose and pomegranate complete the complex and intense aromatic profile, with predominant tastes not so insistent.

It tastes full and precise, and is sweety effervescent. Its touches of red berries are clearly perceivable. The balance between roundness and freshness is so pure, that you can also perceive a touch of mint and pink grapefruit.

Champagne Ruinart

On the 1st September 1729 Nicolas Ruinart, drapery merchant in Reims like his father, opened his first book account dedicated to vin de bulles. He was 33 years old. That book also represents a birth certificate: his first Maison of Champagne. In 1768 Ruinart bought the crayeres, so-called ancient chalk caves (from the Roman time), digged beneath the city of Reims, 38m deep, to stock bottles. These chalky caves offer thermal stability, a vibration-free environment and a perfect humidity room: these are the perfect condition for the wine fermentation and aging. The Chardonnay vine is the soul of Maison Ruinart. Its grapes, mostly coming from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, are the heart of its Cuvées. Distinguished by its fresh aromas, intense, pure and clear character, it is the fil rouge by all maison's mixes.
