The first established Champagne House. Founded in 1729. Chardonnay is the golden thread of the Ruinart Taste and aromatic freshness of the wines. Les Crayères: ageing of the wines in chalk cellars offering the triple benefit of - a constantly stable temperature, - the complete absence of vibration and a perfect humidity level, - providing ideal conditions for the fermentation and maturation of the Ruinart wines.
Ruinart is a prestigious Champagne house with a rich history dating back to 1729, making it one of the oldest Champagne producers in the world. Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the city of Reims, France, Ruinart specialises in producing elegant and refined Champagnes, particularly known for their Blanc de Blancs made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes. The house combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques to create sparkling wines that embody finesse, complexity, and the distinctive terroir of the Champagne region. Ruinart Champagnes are celebrated globally for their exceptional quality and timeless elegance.
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Second Skin offers a sublime tasting experience, showcasing the essence of Chardonnay from the Champagne region. Delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus blossoms, and a hint of freshly baked bread greet the nose. On the palate, it reveals a harmonious blend of crisp acidity and creamy texture, with flavours of ripe pear, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality. The finish is long and refreshing, leaving a lingering impression of elegance and finesse.
Pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. It complements seafood such as oysters, scallops, and sushi due to its crisp acidity and delicate flavours. The Champagne also enhances creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert, offering a refreshing contrast. For a delightful contrast, try it with light salads dressed with vinaigrette or citrus-based sauces.
Serve chilled but not too cold, ideally between 8-10°C (46-50°F), to fully appreciate its aromas and flavours. Use a flute or tulip-shaped glass to concentrate the bubbles and aromas.
