Ruinart holds the distinction of being the oldest established Champagne house, founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart at the urging of his uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, a friend of Dom Pérignon who saw early promise in sparkling wine from the region. The house built its identity around Chardonnay, favoring a reductive winemaking style that uses gentle pneumatic pressing and nitrogen protection to preserve freshness. Its cellars, carved into the chalk beneath Reims, are recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The 2009 growing season began with hail, rain, and wind disrupting flowering, but a dry, temperate summer that followed allowed the grapes to ripen fully by the mid-September harvest. The finished wine draws on Grand Cru Chardonnay from villages including Cramant, Avize, and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, blended with a smaller portion of red Pinot Noir from Aÿ, then aged eleven years in the house's chalk cellars before a light dosage was applied.

The color is a soft pink with raspberry highlights, opening with cinnamon, ginger, and blood orange before turning floral with violet and peony. The palate is full-bodied and saline, with real structure. Pair it with grilled mackerel or a spice-rubbed roast chicken.

"The 2007 Dom Ruinart Rosé is showing brilliantly, bursting from the glass with exuberant aromas of blood orange, tangerine and raspberries, mingled with hints of buttered toast, brioche and spices. Full-bodied, deep and vinous, it's layered and elegantly muscular, with terrific concentration and a racy spine of acidity, enlivened by a pillowy mousse. Concluding with a long and sapid finish, it's aromatically open but structurally tightly wound, so I suspect it will reward another few years' age on cork, even if it's hard to resist today. In any case, it deserves to participate in any discussion of the 2007 Champagne vintage's high points"
