Ruinart Blanc de Blancs

With its 100% Chardonnay, this Champagne is finely textured, elegant with minerality and the freshest crispest apple flavors. It does have some weight and certainly has intensity-a satisfying, textured wine that is ready to drink.

A fresh, graceful Champagne marked by enticing aromas of elderflower and toasted almond. Offers a finely detailed mousse that carries flavors of white peach, Gala apple, grated ginger and preserved lemon, underscored by minerally hints of oyster shell and smoke that linger on the finish. Drink now through 2026.

Classic and springy, with a pastoral, fresh feel and a bright pale straw hue, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is the calling card for the house. This release is based on the 2020 vintage, with some reserves from 2019 and 2018, all raised in stainless steel tank and lifted with 7 grams per liter dosage. Opening to floral aromas as well as a note of salted white grapefruit and a hint of soft, chalky earth, it offers a fluffy mousse and a juicy palate, with notes of candied apple in a medium-bodied frame. A sleek and refreshing Champagne with an approachable kiss of sweet, ripe fruit, it's going to hold up over the coming years, but I would prefer to enjoy it young to preserve its freshness.
