The Blanc de Blancs is a blend of 100% Chardonnay from various years, harvested from a large majority of Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards for aromatic refinement, supplemented by Sézannais wines known to provide maturity. Finally, several wines from the north of the Vesle valley give a light, fresh touch. This is a beautiful pale golden yellow, with fresh ripte citrus fruit notes on the nose with a hint of white floral notes. The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne in 1729 and inspired by the intuition of a monk well ahead of his time. Chardonnay is the very soul of Ruinart.

The 2010 Dom Ruinart is as magnificent as it has always been. Once again, I am mesmerized by the wine s freshness, precision and detail, especially in a vintage that was so challenging in Champagne. The 2010 will be one of the most enduring legacies of Chef de Cave Frederic Panaiotis' life and career.

The first vintage of Dom Ruinart to have been aged under natural cork rather than crown cap. 2010 was a cooler and wetter summer than 2009 - 'almost like a traditional year', according to chef de cave Frederic Panaiotis, adding that this was not a bad thing to have . They started picking on 14 September but then the rains got worse so only 10% Montagne de Reims (Sillery) Chardonnay was included in 2010 so 90% is composed of the top grands crus of the Cote des Blancs. 10.4% potential alcohol (average 9.9%). Hand-disgorged in November 2020 with a dosage of 4 g/l. Really deep flavoured. Very obviously more depth of flavour and tension than the 2009 Dom Ruinart. The cork ageing does seem to enhance the savoury, reduced character reminiscent of white burgundy. Very long with lemon notes. A truly exciting wine that is still extremely youthful. (JR)
