The production of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne in magnum

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in magnum symbolizes Ruinart's passion for Chardonnay. It comes from around thirty carefully selected crus, mainly located in the Côte des Blancs terroirs. The grapes are meticulously sorted during the harvest to select only the best. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve the purity and liveliness of the Chardonnay. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out to soften the wines and give them a creamy texture. After 2 to 3 years of aging in the cellar, the Blanc de Blancs magnum acquires a unique aromatic complexity, characterized by a subtle dosage of 7g/L, which perfectly balances the freshness and roundness of this cuvée.
