About Ruinart
Two non-vintage champagnes from Ruinart, the
oldest Champagne House in existence, are now available
in the
US: Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, made
exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, and Ruinart Rosé,
made from a blend of 45% Chardonnay grapes and 55% Pinot
Noir grapes. The signature of the Ruinart style is the
Chardonnay grape. Grown in the Côte des Blancs and
Montagne de Reims vineyards, the Chardonnay grape is the
most fragile of grapes and a challenge to blend. The
winemakers of Ruinart have successfully taken on this
challenge and have perfected the art of blending the
finest Premier Cru Chardonnay grapes into wines of
elegance, finesse and purity – thereby earning Ruinart
its reputation as the aesthete of champagne. The
unique shape of the Ruinart Blanc de Blanc and Ruinart
Rosé bottles dates back to 1729. Ruinart Champagne is imported exclusively by Möet Hennessy
USA, New York, NY. For more information, please visit
