Ruinart R de Ruinart NV
Rating 93 - Tyson Stelzer, The Champagne Guide 2012 - 2013
Good Australian Wine Guide 2009, Nick Stock says:
Now under the substantial wing of LVMH, this historic house is well worth investigating. Plenty of clever complexing, assertive fruit and handy depth. The palate is taut and layered with smoky mineral flavour laced through pristine fruit. This will impress.
Unique as the only one of Ruinart’s cuvées to be led by pinot noir, and it shows in a vinous personality of intense red fruits, contrasting refreshingly with the linear minerality of chardonnay. There are apple, pear, hazelnut and fresh bread notes, indicative of the youth of this blend, but it is the chardonnay signature of the house that has the final say in lingering lemon zest and a finely structured backbone of minerality.
