Beautifully balanced and refined in texture, this displays exotic ground spice and floral accents to the flavors of poached white peach, Meyer lemon and candied ginger, with hints of pastry and honey. Offers a lasting, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2023. 2,917 cases imported. –AN

This is a fabulous version of Ruinart’s NV Brut Blanc de Blancs. The wine seems fresher, more vibrant and less obviously sweet than in the past, all of which makes this a far more interesting wine. The trademark profile of lemon, jasmine and green apples is very much in the forefront while the wine’s textural finesse and length are both first-class. This release of the NV Brut makes a great introduction to the wines of Ruinart, Champagne’s oldest house. This is Lot LAGJSAF. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
Producer
Maison Ruinart
The oldest Champagne house in the region, Ruinart has exclusively produced Champagne since its establishment in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. By 1769, they were the first maison to ship bottles in wooden cases, which otherwise was an impossible feat – as Champagne cannot be shipped in barrels as still wines could. Among the big wineries in Reims, Ruinart has maintained to keep quite a low profile in recent years, despite being owned by the luxury goods corporation, LVMH. With a relatively great production, the quality remains excellent, producing prestigious cuvées, like Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart and Dom Ruinart Vintage Rosé. The vintage cuvées are particularly refined and powerful due to some extended ageing of the base wines, however, the Brut R de Ruinart NV is one of the best of its kind.
