Ruinart Blance De Blancs 750ml

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is a Champagne from Maison Ruinart, founded in 1729 and recognized as the oldest established Champagne house, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes drawn heavily from the Cote des Blancs, the region best known for producing the variety's most elegant expressions in Champagne. Blanc de Blancs means white wine made only from white grapes, in this case skipping Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier entirely for a lighter, more citrus-driven, mineral style than a typical Champagne blend. Expect white flowers, citrus, and brioche with a fine, persistent mousse and a crisp, precise finish.

How to drink Ruinart Blanc de Blancs

Serve it in a proper white wine glass rather than a narrow flute, which mutes the aromatics a Chardonnay-only Champagne is built to show. It's an excellent match for oysters or a simple goat cheese course, where its acidity and minerality do most of the work.
