Buy Wine from Ruinart
In 1729, when the very concept of luxury Champagne was just beginning to be defined, Ruinart was already projecting a revolutionary vision. Recognised as the oldest maison in the region, its legacy is not just a matter of history, but a continuing affirmation of excellence, style and consistency in the world of French sparkling wine.
Inspired by the intuition of Dom Thierry Ruinart and commercially founded by Nicolas Ruinart, the house was born with a clear conviction: the future belonged to refinement and precision. Today, almost three centuries later, Ruinart remains synonymous with elegance, tradition and high-end Champagne.
The crayères: the origin of complexity
Beneath the city of Reims, almost 40 metres below the surface, lie the legendary Ruinart crayères, ancient chalk quarries that offer ideal conditions for ageing Champagne. In this environment of constant temperature and natural humidity, the bottles rest for years, developing fine bubbles and a silky texture.
The chalk acts as a perfect regulator, allowing a slow and harmonious evolution. Here, time becomes an essential ingredient. This prolonged ageing is key to achieving the aromatic depth and precision that distinguish an authentic premium Champagne.
At Ruinart, ageing is not an industrial process, but an act of respect for the wine and for history.
Chardonnay as an absolute identity
If there is one unmistakable hallmark of Ruinart, it is the prominence of Chardonnay in Champagne. Long before Blanc de Blancs became a world reference, the maison had already adopted it as a cornerstone of its style.
Sourced mainly from the region's best terroirs, Chardonnay expresses itself here with crystalline purity, vibrant freshness and elegant structure. The result is wines defined by their luminosity and precision.
Ruinart Blanc de Blancs embodies this philosophy: notes of fresh citrus, white flowers and stone fruit, supported by delicate, persistent bubbles. At its best, Dom Ruinart represents the pinnacle of prestige Champagne, combining depth, ageability and exceptional complexity.
At Ruinart, Chardonnay is not a trend: it is identity.
Sustainable viticulture and biodiversity
The excellence of a great French Champagne begins in the vineyard. This is why Ruinart has developed a strong commitment to sustainable viticulture in Champagne and the active promotion of biodiversity.
Natural plant cover, herbicide reduction and soil regeneration are all part of a strategy that understands the vineyard as a living ecosystem. This approach not only reduces the environmental impact, but also improves the quality of the grapes and reinforces the expression of the terroir.
Contemporary luxury demands responsibility, and Ruinart integrates this philosophy both in the vineyard and in the design of its cases and production processes.
Technical precision, timeless style
In the cellar, the philosophy is clear: maximum precision and minimum unnecessary intervention. Fermentations in stainless steel preserve aromatic freshness, while prolonged ageing on the lees adds volume and complexity.
There is no artifice or excess. Just balance, cleanliness and coherence. Every decision is aimed at expressing the essence of high quality Champagne.
To drink Ruinart is to experience a luminous, refined and profoundly harmonious style. An elegant and exclusive Champagne that does not need to impose itself to stand out. Because in the world of great wine, true greatness is not proclaimed: it is perceived in every bubble
