Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 19 is composed of 100% chardonnay, sourced from Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, Grande Vallée de la Marne, Vallée du Petit Morin, Sézannais, and Vitryat.
Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 19 joins the collection of cuvée editions, each reflecting the variations of a year marked by extreme climatic conditions. The year 2019, characterised by three intense summer heatwaves (23 days with temperatures above 30°C) and a record temperature (42.9°C vs 42°C in 2003), is emblematic of climatic upheavals. Thanks to a warm and sunny season, the vine's vegetative cycle was very rapid, and the ripe and early harvest began as early as August.
These specific climatic conditions led to different aromatic balances. During the tasting of the base wines, the oenological team detected these intense textures and atypical aromatic profiles. As a result, they decided to create Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 19.
The wine’s colour is a clear, bright golden yellow with subtle green highlights.
The aromas of juicy and sweet white fruits evoke nectarine and Nashi pear. Lightly candied, fragrant, and fresh yellow citrus notes add a tangy touch. Scents of white flowers (musk rose) with more honeyed nuances such as honeysuckle blend with smoky spice fragrances (saffron) - reminiscent of those found in Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 18.
The initial taste sensation is vibrant and lively, but quickly gives way to a powerful and enveloping texture. This gustatory sensation provides the dimension of a champagne that is both refined and indulgent. On the palate, notes of white fruits and citrus are present, along with more candied and floral tones. The wine's length reveals delicate bitterness, highlighting the wine's freshness and structure in the finish.
Adapting to the ever-changing natural environment, Maison Ruinart has perfected its know-how and created a new expression of chardonnay. Ruinart Blanc Singulier embodies the distinctiveness of each year's wines, reflecting the variations in climate and the essence of that specific vintage.
In response to the evolving temperatures in Champagne, the shortened vine cycle, and the accelerated maturation process, chardonnay reveals an unprecedented aromatic repertoire, with intense aromas and texture.
To reveal these exceptional aromatic expressions while upholding the Ruinart signature style, the cellar master and the team have adapted their expertise. Blanc Singulier is the result of an innovative oenological approach, blending base wines from a specific year and from a perpetual reserve crafted exclusively for this cuvée. A new blend that preserves Ruinart's distinctive aromatic freshness for a blanc de blancs that is either lightly dosed or not dosed at all, depending on the edition of the cuvée.
Ruinart Blanc Singulier is presented as a collection whose editions reflect the years marked by an atypical climate.
