Ruinart Description

ASSEMBLY:

Its uniqueness is based on the unique balance of its blend of Chardonnay, the House's signature grape, and Pinot Noir vinified in red. The freshness of Chardonnay echoes the roundness and character of Pinot Noir.

ORIGIN :

45% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. 55% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Marne Valley, of which 18 to 19% vinified in red. 20 to 25% reserve wines from the previous 2 years.

Ruinart Rosé first presents itself to the eye, revealing a pomegranate color edged with orange reflections.

The nose is subtle and fresh, first offering an original palette of exotic fruits (guava, lychee), and small red fruits (raspberry, cherry, wild strawberry). Notes of rose and pomegranate complete this complex and intense aromatic profile, dominated by little evolved primary aromas.

On the palate, the attack is frank, the palate silky and fleshy, carried by aromas of pomegranate, guava and lychee, pink grapefruit and peppermint. Ruinart Rosé deploys a complex aromatic bouquet, woven with echoes and correspondences - so many notes ready to reveal their singularity during exotic meals.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

This offers all the trim sleekness of a well-built racing sailboat, while the flavors unfurl on the palate like a full spinnaker sail. Macerated raspberry and poached apricot fruit is underscored by smoke and toast notes, and pleasing hints of crystallized honey, tangerine zest and dried thyme echo on the mouthwatering finish. - Alison Napjus

James Suckling: 93 Points

Very attractive, bright and fragrant red fruits on the nose here. This has a wealth of fresh yeasty characters, fresh pastry and bread dough, plus red fruits, pink grapefruit, and some floral notes too. The palate has a strong nectarine and light cherry flavor thread. Chardonnay has a lot to say here; the texture is creamy and the balance right on the money. - James Suckling
