The Creation of the Champagne Millésime 2016 Ruinart

The champagne Millésime 2016 Ruinart is composed of an assemblage of 48% Chardonnays, 32% Pinot Noirs, and 20% Meuniers. These grapes are primarily sourced from the Grands Crus and Premiers Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, two emblematic terroirs of Champagne. Manual harvests ensure a rigorous selection of grapes, guaranteeing optimal quality for this cuvée.

The 2016 vintage is characterized by contrasting climatic conditions: a cool and rainy spring followed by a hot and dry summer. These climatic variations allowed for the production of wines with great expressiveness and beautiful aromatic concentration. Vinification in thermoregulated stainless steel vats preserves the freshness and fruity aromas of the grapes, while malolactic fermentation softens the natural acidity, offering a creamier profile. After aging for more than 6 years on the lees, this cuvée develops complex and refined notes, perfectly balanced by a dosage of 5g/L.

• Nose
