A fitting companion for great moments, the Ruinart, Duo Gift Box Blanc de Blancs & Rosé brings together two major expressions from Champagne, conceived as a luminous diptych. For those torn between the crystalline brightness of a pure Chardonnay and the sensuous contours of a blend where Pinot Noir answers in echo, this duo provides an elegant, sensible and highly desirable solution. As an aperitif, it opens conversation with flair. At the table, it supports a nuanced menu, sliding from notes of ripe citrus and exotic fruit to a score of pink grapefruit, peppermint and fine spices. More than a gift, it is a staging of taste, a promise of harmony that celebrates the precision of a now emblematic style. Thanks to its versatility, this box reassures, unites and enchants, whether you are honoring a host, orchestrating a dinner, or simply exploring the Ruinart signature with delicacy and exacting standards.

Blend and vinification

In this duo, the Blanc de Blancs is expressed through 100% Chardonnay, a blend of 25 to 30 crus coming notably from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and the Vallée de la Vesle. Its dosage of 7 g/L underlines the purity of the fruit, the straightness of the frame and the saline freshness of the finish. The Rosé combines 45% Chardonnay and 55% Pinot Noir, selected from 30 to 40 crus, for vinous elegance, a fine structure and a caressing roundness. Each cuvée has an alcohol content of 12.5% and embodies the Ruinart signature, carried by clarity of expression, balanced textures and precise effervescence. The house oversees assemblage with goldsmith-like rigour to ensure that freshness, tension and harmony are present in every sip.
