• Grape Composition
  • 100% Chardonnay, the defining grape of Blanc de Blancs Champagne.
  • Fruit is sourced primarily from Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, known for producing some of the region’s most elegant Chardonnay.
• Blend Structure
  • A multi-vintage blend, incorporating reserve wines from previous harvests to ensure house consistency and complexity.
• Winemaking
  • Fermentation takes place primarily in stainless steel to preserve the purity and brightness of Chardonnay.
  • Extended lees aging develops texture, subtle brioche notes, and the wine’s characteristic creamy mousse.
• Signature Ruinart Style
  • Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is prized for its aromatic freshness and crystalline minerality, emphasizing elegance rather than weight.
• Large-Format Bottle (Jeroboam – 3L)
  • The 3000 ml Jeroboam holds the equivalent of four standard bottles.
  • Large formats allow Champagne to age more slowly and evenly, preserving freshness and enhancing complexity over time.
