Blanc de Blancs

The Blanc de Blancs stands for the Ruinart style. It is made exclusively from Chardonnay, the house's most important grape variety. A significant share comes from Premiers Crus in the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, and 20 to 25% is reserve wine from the two previous harvests. The nose shows plenty of fruit and white blossom. On the palate it is supple, round and harmonious, with a slight vinosity and clear freshness. The shape of the bottle recalls bottles of the 18th century.

Well chilled at 8 to 10 °C, in a white wine glass or a tulip-shaped glass, it shows its finesse at its best. It works as an aperitif and goes with seafood and shellfish. It also suits sole cooked on the plancha, as its freshness keeps the delicate fish flavour nicely in balance.
