The making of champagne R de Ruinart in magnum

The R de Ruinart in magnum is the result of the blending of 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 in the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. This diversity of supply allows Ruinart to produce a very balanced champagne, faithful to its unique style.

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 provide a smooth texture. This magnum is then aged in the Ruinart cellars for 2 to 3 years. During this period, it develops remarkable aromatic complexity, characterized by a precise dosage of 7g/L that perfectly balances the vivacity of the chardonnay and the roundness of the other grape varieties.
