The Making of R de Ruinart Champagne

The R de Ruinart is the result of blending the three emblematic grape varieties of Champagne: Pinot Noir (40 to 45%), Pinot Meunier (10 to 15%), and Chardonnay (40%). These grapes come from 40 to 50 carefully selected crus, mainly located on the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. This rich supply of Ruinart allows for the creation of a very balanced champagne.

After manual harvests, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of the aromas. A malolactic fermentation is carried out to round out the wine and give it a creamy texture. This cuvée is then aged in the Ruinart cellars for 2 to 3 years. During this time, it develops remarkable aromatic complexity. The dosage is controlled at 7g/L, which perfectly balances the vivacity of the Chardonnay and the roundness of the other grape varieties.

Tasting the Cuvée

• Color

  To the eye, the R de Ruinart champagne stands out with its shimmering, yellow and gold robe. Its effervescence is sustained, the bead is very present, and the bubbles are lively and fine.

• Nose

  On the nose, this champagne offers a complex aromatic bouquet with notes of white-fleshed fruits, mainly pear, and touches of dried fruits (hazelnut and almonds). We also discover notes of white flowers (acacia, hawthorn, eglantine) and a brioche touch, slightly buttery.

• Palate

  On the palate, the R de Ruinart is both rich and balanced. The attack is beautifully lively. It is a balanced, round, and fleshy wine with aromas of ripe fruits (greengage and white peach). The finish has a beautiful persistence.
