Tasting Notes
“Every year, my team and I have to recreate the recipe of Ruinart Brut to perpetuate its taste, while adding a touch of contemporary innovation.”
Frédéric Panaïotis, Maison Ruinart Cellar Master.
Ruinart Brut is a harmonious champagne, produced from a blend of pinot noir (40–45%), meunier (10–15%) and fresh chardonnay (40%). Created from 40–50 different crus from the terroirs of Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.
COLOUR
Ruinart Brut sparkles in chestnuts, yellows and golds.
THE NOSE
First impressions reveal subtle fruity notes of reinette apples and apricots, along with fresh almonds and hazelnuts. Hints of elderflower and coriander seed add a touch of complexity. Second impressions create room for intense aromas of brioche and biscuit.
PALATE
Sweet notes of golden fruit, plum tarts and ripe drupes develop in the mouth. The palate is enveloped in harmonious and persistent roundness. The finale reveals the distinctive freshness of chardonnay.
