Ruinart champagne
Maison Ruinart is the oldest Champagne House. Founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, nephew of Dom Ruinart, it has seen generations come and go while building its reputation in France and around the world. In the face of environmental challenges, Maison Ruinart has made strong commitments: sustainable viticulture, protection of local flora and fauna, and reforestation. Starting in 2020, Maison Ruinart decided to replace its individual gift boxes with the “second skin” case—an eco-designed case made of 99% paper, recyclable, and molded to the shape of the bottle. Chardonnay, primarily sourced from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, plays a key role in the blends of Ruinart’s cuvées, which are distinguished by their elegance and finesse.
Ruinart’s Blanc de Blancs, the House’s iconic cuvée, develops elegant and fruity notes, while the Rosé offers an interesting tangy touch. R de Ruinart, meanwhile, features a skillful blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, offering a harmonious balance and beautiful aromatic complexity. The House’s prestige cuvées, Dom Ruinart and Dom Ruinart Rosé, offer connoisseurs of fine champagnes a rich, vinous character and great intensity, opening the door to superb food pairings.

For the maturation of its sparkling wines, the bottles are stored in the Ruinart champagne cellars: the Crayères. These underground chalk cathedrals provide the coolness necessary for the wine to mature slowly in the bottle. On a more cultural note, Les Crayères were classified as a Historic Site in 1931 and were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
The different grape varieties and blends of Maison Ruinart wines
Each Ruinart cuvée has a blend that makes it unique, and every stage of its creation is carried out with a single goal in mind: excellence. First, let's take a look at the famous Rosé Ruinart, the first rosé ever created. This delicate wine is made from Chardonnay grapes from the Côte des Blancs in the Montagne de Reims and Pinot Noir grapes from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne, some of which are vinified as red wine. This expertly crafted blend is complemented by a touch of reserve wines from the last two years. The Rosé de Ruinart cuvée is thus crafted to strike a balance between freshness, roundness, and exotic notes.
Next, Dom Ruinart is the vintage Ruinart taste. Dom Ruinart cuvées are made exclusively from grand cru grapes from the Côte des Blancs in the Montagne de Reims, with a majority of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vinified in red. It is when the bottles of Dom Ruinart are stored in the Crayères for around 10 years that the wine truly acquires its full aroma.
As for the Blanc de Blancs, as mentioned above, it is the symbol of the Ruinart taste, with grapes sourced mainly from the Côte des Blancs in the Montagne de Reims, complemented by wines from the Sézannais region for their roundness. It is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes from different years.
Finally, we conclude this analysis with the famous R de Ruinart, which is the soul of the Ruinart House. The grapes for this cuvée are mainly sourced from my Côte des Blancs in the Montagne de Reims. This signature wine from the House of Ruinart is blended in almost equal proportions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, with the remainder made up of Pinot Noir and reserve wines from the two previous years.
