The Nicolas Ruinart Pavilion stands as an exceptional place where each guest is welcomed with special care, guided towards a bespoke experience. It introduces a new way of hosting at Maison Ruinart: a bright and inviting space featuring lounges, a champagne bar, a boutique, and a terrace for an immersive experience.
The Bar by Ruinart invites visitors to experience the House’s expertise by rediscovering Ruinart cuvées, from the most well-known to the rarest vintages. The menu also offers still wines, unique champagne cocktails, and culinary creations by the House's chef.
The Bar by Ruinart experience extends to a shaded terrace, nestled under cork oak trees.
In the boutique, visitors can purchase a bottle of their favourite cuvée. The boutique also offers a selection of lifestyle objects created in the spirit of the House (vase bottles, knives, and candleholders made from vine cuttings), as well as art editions reflecting numerous commissions given to artists.
In the basement, iconic cuvées and historic bottles are preserved as milestones of the House’s history. This intimate and exclusive wine library offers enthusiasts and collectors a unique experience, where they can explore the full heritage of Ruinart’s vintage cuvées and exceptional wines, available only in Reims.
At the center of the Pavilion stands a glass carousel, with walls reflecting endlessly in a mirrored ceiling. Bottles of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne are displayed along these walls and are available for self-service purchase.
The Nicolas Ruinart Pavilion, the result of a collaboration between architects Sou Fujimoto, Gwenaël Nicolas, and Christophe Gautrand, stands as a contemporary tribute to the famous chalk cellars of Reims. The building is distinguished by its bold use of local limestone, a key material that echoes Reims' viticultural history while celebrating Champagne's traditions.
The curves of this new building respond to the straight lines of the historic structures. Architect Sou Fujimoto envisioned a space inspired by the fleeting nature of champagne bubbles, sculpted by light: the fourth wall is, in fact, a glass façade that opens onto the courtyard.
The pavilion harmoniously integrates with the existing buildings, engaging in a fruitful dialogue that highlights the modernity of its asymmetric design.
Constructed from Soissons stone and topped with a wooden frame, the Nicolas Ruinart Pavilion reflects the House’s commitment to a more sustainable world. Built using a responsible approach, the natural materials were carefully selected locally to address environmental concerns. Sou Fujimoto’s project meets all criteria for Haute Qualité Environnementale (HQE) architecture.
