ABOUT THE WINE
Ruinart is a low profile, yet select Champagne house, steeped in history. It dates back to the 17th century, the time of the famous Dom Perignon. It was founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart in the city of Reims, the year after a Royal Decree in 1728 whereby Louis XV gave his consent for sparkling wines to be shipped in baskets containing 50 to 100 bottles. This opened the gates of Europe to champagne and thus made Ruinart the oldest Champagne House. Since the Second World War, the house has become synonymous with class and its production of only 1.7 million bottles per annum is small compared to other grande marques.
TASTING NOTES
A classic nose of toasted brioche, lemon curd, green apple, lime peel, and almond. Achieving the perfect balance between zestiness and toastiness. A pinnacle example of a non-vintage Brut Champagne.
FOOD PAIRING
Classics such as Dover sole with a butter caper sauce as well as coronation chicken are the most appropriate pairings. But an absolutely delightful Champagne by itself or even with a side of chips!
FRIARDOOD SAYS
Ruinart is one of the most highly sought-after Champagne houses in the world.
