Description
In 1729, when the historic Maison Ruinart decided to abandon the textile trade to devote itself entirely to wine, a vision was born that would forever shape the style of French Champagne. The house understood from the outset that elegance should not be imposed by force, but by precision. This philosophy gave rise to R de Ruinart Brut, the most representative expression of its savoir-faire and an essential reference in the world of premium sparkling wine.
Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, this blend reflects the diversity of Champagne's chalky soils, especially the famous crayères that bring finesse and mineral tension. The northern climate preserves vibrant acidity and defines the fresh, structured profile of Champagne Brut. In challenging years, the maison has chosen to reduce production rather than sacrifice quality, a bold decision that reinforces the selective character of R de Ruinart Brut.
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand, with strict selection of bunches to guarantee aromatic purity in the production of R de Ruinart Brut. After gentle pressing and fractionation, the must is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, a key technique for maintaining the clarity of the French sparkling wine. Malolactic fermentation takes place to provide balance and texture.
The blend incorporates 20-30% of reserve wines, ensuring stylistic continuity and complexity. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle, followed by a prolonged ageing on the lees for 2 to 3 years in historic cellars. This process defines the finesse of bubbles that distinguishes R de Ruinart Brut. After disgorging, a final dosage of 7 g/l is applied, providing balance and precision.
Taste
In the glass, R de Ruinart Brut has a luminous golden colour and fine, persistent, elegant bubbles. The nose is fresh and expressive: notes of crisp apple, ripe pear and subtle apricot stand out, accompanied by hints of almond, toasted hazelnut and brioche derived from its contact with lees.
On the palate, R de Ruinart Brut enters with vibrant energy and precise acidity. The bubbles are creamy, enveloping and perfectly integrated. Ripe white fruit is balanced by delicate toasted notes and a slightly citrus background. The finish is long, clean and refined, with a lingering memory of toast and mineral freshness.
A top-of-the-range Champagne Brut that combines freshness, structure and sophistication, ideal both as an aperitif and as an accompaniment to seafood, fine fish or contemporary cuisine.
