Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV
Ermahgerd! These bubbles are my ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE! Tell you what, ran a trade tasting for Ruinart BdB recently and I found myself telling the customers they wouldn’t like it so there was more for me. Selfish, I know, and morally wrong – but worth it.Regions: Champagne, France

Tasting Notes
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs embodies purity of the Chardonnay grapes from which it is made exclusively. Made primarily with Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs, it is intensely aromatic.
The nose is powerfully reminiscent of fresh fruits with dominant notes of citrus and exotic fruits, followed by a touch of jasmine, white peaches and pink peppercorns.
The palate is both precise and clean as the wine delivers a radiant balance between roundness and smoothness.
Colour
Beautiful pale golden yellow colour with gentle green reflections, a vibrant, luminous colour.
Nose
Active effervescence with a persistent release of bubbles. At first very intense on the nose, with fresh fruit notes, particularly ripe citrus fruits. A second refined floral nose with notes of white flowers and fruits (white peaches, pineapple).
Palate
A supple, harmonious attack on the palate, very rounded. Vinosity that is not excessive, supported by excellent freshness. Notes of nectarines, citrus fruits with a pleasant mineral quality in the finish. Long, very refreshing finish.
