From the very first Champagne house, founded in 1729, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs embodies the excellence of the French art de vivre. Chic and elegant, it is a blend of refined Premiers Crus. Fine, fresh and round, with fruity aromas and flavours, Blanc de Blancs is exclusively made of Chardonnay from different vintages. An excellent treat with a scallop carpaccio or prawns.

Wine Advocate
90/100 - "The NV Brut Blanc de Blancs is a great introduction to the house style. This elegant, fragrant wine offers up an array of smoke, toastiness, minerals, ripe pears and flowers. The medium-bodied NV Blanc de Blancs offers tons of clarity and precision at this level, with the lingering Ruinart sweetness on the finish."
