Ruinart
Ruinart is a historic Champagne domaine in Reims. It was founded in the early 18th century by Nicolas Ruinart who named it after his uncle the monk Dom Thierry Ruinart who was an early advocate for the sparkling wines of Champagne. The estate refers to itself as the first true Champagne producing domain having shipped its first commercial vintage in 1730. Today Ruinart is part of the LVMH empire of luxury goods. The estate does not own its own vineyards but obtains its grapes from growers who control some 650 acres of vineyards. About 2.5 million bottles are produced annually. The prestige cuvee is the 100% Chardonnay Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blanc though the estate also makes well-regarded roses and non-vintage Champagnes.
Description
Ruinart "R" de Ruinart Brut NV presents a sparkling display of chestnut, yellow, and gold hues. The nose initially reveals fruity notes of reinette apples and apricots, complemented by fresh almonds, hazelnuts, elderflower, and coriander seed. As the aroma develops, brioche and biscuit notes become prominent. On the palate, it offers sweet flavors of golden fruits, plum tarts, and ripe drupes, culminating in a harmonious and persistent roundness with a fresh chardonnay finish.
Food Pairing
This champagne pairs beautifully with vegetarian cuisine and cheese. One recommended dish is a seasonal vegetable and goat's cheese tart, featuring yellow and green courgettes, carrots, fresh goat's cheese, ricotta, and thyme .
