Maison Ruinart: The Oldest Champagne House in the World

With fresh aromas, liveliness, purity, and lightness, Chardonnay forms the essence of all cuvées – it is the soul of Maison Ruinart. The Blanc de Blancs, made from 100% Chardonnay, is the ultimate expression of this style. Ruinart Blanc de Blancs consists of 100% Chardonnay grapes from various vintages. Of this, 20 to 25% is reserve wine from the previous two years. Most of the grapes come from Premier Cru vineyards in the Côte de Blancs and Montagne de Reims.

The imposing cellars of Ruinart extend to a depth of 38 meters. Here, the temperature is constant, yet the humidity is perfect and not a single vibration penetrates – perfect conditions for the fermentation and aging of Ruinart champagnes.
