A superbly balanced Champagne wine in an ecological package
The property
The first Champagne House founded in 1729, Ruinart is an undeniable reference. The historic Ruinart Champagne House owes its birth to the visionary and pioneering monk Dom Thierry Ruinart. Located in the heart of Reims, the Ruinart House guards a treasure. Unique, historical monuments and architectural feats, the Ruinart chalk pits have been classified as a historical site since 1931 and have been listed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since July 2015. Nearly 40 meters underground, in the darkness and coolness of the cathedral-like cellars, the precious bottles wait before coming into the light. Elegance, style and timelessness define the DNA of the Ruinart Champagne House, one of the most appreciated brands in France, embodying the excellence of a French lifestyle around the world.
The vineyard
Exclusively from prestigious Champagne terroirs, namely the Grands and Premiers Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, this "R" cuvée from Ruinart is the perfect vintage expression of the "Ruinart taste".
The wine
After more than two years of research and development, Ruinart unveils its new case: Ruinart Second Skin. An ecological alternative to boxes, Ruinart Second Skin is a 100% paper envelope, fully recyclable and molded to the shape of the bottle. This Second Skin, whose color and texture are inspired by the historic chalk pits of the House, highlights the roundness of the bottle's curves. In a desire to continue strong commitments to the environmental challenges of tomorrow, the Ruinart Champagne House thus succeeds in combining aesthetics, authenticity and responsibility.
Blend
Pinot Noir (60%)
Chardonnay (40%)
R de Ruinart is a reflection of the House, pure, refined with a bottle and a magnum of recognizable and incomparable design.
