The making of champagne Blanc de Blancs Ruinart in magnum

The Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in magnum symbolizes the passion of Champagne Ruinart for chardonnay. This comes from about thirty carefully selected crus, mainly located on the terroirs of the Côte des Blancs. The grapes are meticulously sorted during the harvest to keep only the best. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the purity and vivacity of the chardonnay. A malolactic fermentation is then performed to soften the wines and give them a creamy texture. After 2 to 3 years of aging in the cellar, the Blanc de Blancs magnum acquires a unique aromatic complexity, characterized by a subtle dosage of 7g/L, which perfectly balances the freshness and roundness of this cuvée.
