The production of R de Ruinart champagne

R de Ruinart is the result of a blend of three iconic Champagne grape varieties: Pinot Noir (40 to 45%), Pinot Meunier (10 to 15%), and Chardonnay (40%). These grape varieties come from 40 to 50 carefully selected crus, mainly located in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims terroirs. This wealth of Ruinart's supply allows it to produce a very well-balanced champagne.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are vinified in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of the aromas. Malolactic fermentation is carried out to round out the wine and give it a smooth texture. This cuvée is then aged in the Ruinart cellars for two to three years. During this time, it develops remarkable aromatic complexity. The dosage is carefully controlled at 7g/L, which perfectly balances the liveliness of the Chardonnay and the roundness of the other grape varieties.
