Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV (1.5L)

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is a Champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay, in a 150cl bottle. The House of Ruinart was established on 1 September 1729 by Nicholas Ruinart, fulfilling the ambition of his uncle, the Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart. The wine is fresh, supple and well-rounded, combining purity with refinement. It presents a pale golden colour with a fine stream of bubbles, and aromas of citrus, pear, apricot and white flowers. On the palate it is pure, clear and precise, balancing invigorating freshness with roundness. It also shows smoke, toastiness, minerals, ripe pears and flowers, with clarity and precision, and a lingering sweetness on the finish. It was disgorged in September 2006.
