The production of R de Ruinart champagne in magnum

R de Ruinart in magnum 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 diversity of supply allows Ruinart to produce a very balanced champagne, faithful to its unique style.

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 magnum is then aged in the Ruinart cellars for two to three years. During this period, it develops remarkable aromatic complexity, characterized by a precise dosage of 7g/L that perfectly balances the liveliness of the Chardonnay and the roundness of the other grape varieties.
