Founded in 1729, Ruinart was the very first Champagne House.  Their Blanc de Blancs includes some 25–30 different chardonnay crus, predominantly from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. They reflect the rich diversity of the Champagne terroir.  The wine spends the best part of a decade or more on lees before disgorgement, showing beautiful integration and maturity balanced by a core of refined minerality.  Citrus, peach and white flower aromas evolve into a fresh and supple palate.
