Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the first established champagne house in the world, born from the ambition of Dom Ruinart’s truly enlightened mind. His vision made him perceive before anyone else the potential of sparkling wines from the Champagne region. Each of Ruinart’s cuvées bears the distinctive signature of Chardonnay, the House’s emblematic grape variety. Elegance, refinement, purity, light, and distinctive taste make Ruinart a timeless and modern icon.

Champagne Ruinart Rose´ is a cuvée of 45% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims and 55% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. It is a composite of 40-50 cru parcels with the addition of 20-30% reserve wines.

Ruinart Rose´ Champagne showcases an exceptional performance each year. Although a non-vintage bottling, it is consistent in offering immense pleasure. The pale salmon hue opens with lively aromatics of dried rose petals and framboise. Freshly picked red currants, star fruits and an essence of pink grapefruit glide effortlessly across the palate supported by a streak of freshness and delicate minerality. There is a lovely purity and approachability to this classic Champagne that will make it a favorite choice throughout the year.
