NV Ruinart - Champagne Brut Rose (750ml)

Ruinart holds the distinction of being the oldest established Champagne house, founded in Reims in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. Its cellars are cut from ancient Gallo-Roman chalk quarries prized for their constant cool temperature and humidity. Chardonnay remains the house's signature grape, and under chef de cave Frédéric Panaiotis, Ruinart continues to emphasize freshness, purity, and understated elegance across its range.

This Brut Rosé blends a base vintage with a meaningful share of reserve wines, drawing chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims alongside pinot noir from the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne. A portion of the pinot noir is vinified as a still red wine before blending, lending the cuvée its color and fruit-forward character, with the finished wine typically disgorged after several years of aging.

Aromas of pomegranate, dark cherry, redcurrant, and blood orange unfold alongside brioche and a touch of warm spice. The palate is medium-bodied and lively, with bright acidity and a perfumed, saline-tinged finish that lingers gracefully. Pour it with seared tuna, spiced roast pork, or a fresh berry tart.
