Symbolic of the sunlit lightness typical of Chardonnay, the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs in Magnum Brut brightens special moments with its crystalline radiance. This generous format, prized by connoisseurs for its more harmonious ageing and the exemplary persistence of its bubbles, magnifies the House's expression. At the table or as an aperitif, it offers a balance of freshness, precision and tactile grace that appeals to palates in search of elegance. Its linear framework, airy fruit and savoury finish compose a mouthwatering crescendo, perfectly suited to receptions, refined dinners and shared moments of joy. Here, the art of Blanc de Blancs gains extra soul, between floral delicacy and mineral depth, in an interpretation that celebrates the French art of living.

Assemblage et vinification

Made exclusively from Chardonnay, this blend draws its finesse from the Premier Crus of the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, complemented by the Sézannais for roundness and the northern part of the Vesle valley for freshness. The inclusion of 25 to 30% reserve wines ensures continuity of style and a silky aromatic complexity. The grapes, hand-harvested, preserve their integrity until pressing. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a malolactic fermentation that softens the acidic expression and polishes the wine's contours. The dosage of 7.5 g/L highlights the wine’s straightness and clarity without masking its savoury thread. The magnum format, a true showcase, favours a slower, finer evolution, revealing a particularly pure reading of the grape variety.

Notes de dégustation

• Colour: Pale, with green-tinged reflections, crossed by a steady, persistent effervescence that forms a crown of delicate bubbles.
• Nose: A precise bouquet of white flowers, fresh almond and white fruit, lifted by menthol freshness and fine notes of brioche. The whole breathes clarity and grace.
• Palate: Pure, supple attack, a broad, rounded mid-palate, balance between mineral tension and softness, a savoury length that prolongs the pleasure with crystalline freshness.

Température de service et conseils

Serve at 12°C in tulip glasses to enhance aromatic precision and the delicacy of the effervescence. Chill the magnum for several hours beforehand and avoid thermal shocks. Opening a few minutes before service allows the aromas to develop without upsetting the balance. Store away from light, in a calm environment, to preserve the finesse of the bubbles and the linear profile. This Blanc de Blancs expresses itself with panache today, and the magnum format magnifies its harmonious development at the table.
