Elegant and refined, this is a true connoisseur Champagne. Ruinart are the oldest Champagne house - established in 1729 - and this gorgeous Blanc de Blancs Chardonnay is among the most bright and focused wines on the Champagne market. It seems barely touched by bready, toasty character and what comes through most is the extreme clarity and precision on the palate - pristine Chardonnay fruit and aromatics with a dry, poised finish. A superb aperitif.
