4 r de Ruinart Brut wooden box

R de Ruinart is the house's brut and its trademark. The cuvée is made up of 40% Chardonnay, 40 to 45% Pinot Noir and 10 to 15% Pinot Meunier. To this are added 25 to 30% reserve wine from the two previous vintages, which gives it more depth. In the glass it gleams golden and sparkles vigorously. The nose shows pear, apple and apricot first, then blossom. On the palate it is round and fleshy, with ripe fruit and a long finish in which the freshness of the Chardonnay lingers.

Serve it at 8 to 10 °C in a white wine glass, as an aperitif or with oysters, scallops and Chaource. Here you get four bottles in a wooden case with the fire brand on each side. Ruinart has shipped its champagnes in wooden cases since 1789. This one is made in France, and the wood comes from environmentally friendly forests. A gift with substance.
