The launch of a new vintage of Dom Ruinart is always quite an exceptional moment. It is the most accomplished expression of a great Blanc de Blancs. Since the first Dom Ruinart cuvée, Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 1959, launched in 1966, only 27 vintages of Dom Ruinart have been presented to the public.
The year 2010 is characterized by a very cold winter, an early summer and a rainy August. During the base wine tasting after harvest, the oenological team realized the 2010 chardonnay was marked with an intense richness and showed the promise of a great vintage.
For Dom Ruinart, the Maison only selects chardonnay from exceptional terroirs, mostly grand cru.
90% of our chardonnays are chosen from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur- Oger, Avize, Chouilly & Cramant), the heartland of this variety, with easterly exposure; and the other 10% are from the north-facing Montagne de Reims, particularly the grand cru sites of Sillery, the Maison’s historic vineyard.
Dom Ruinart 2010 marks a turning point.
In her quest for excellence, the Maison decided to push the ageing of the wine further, to unlock more layers. For this cuvée, the oenological team had the idea of bringing back cork during the ageing process. An intuition that has been validated over the years and during the tastings. During a maturation of 10 years, the cork brings a woody side to this vintage. In the nose as well as on the palate, one can smell the aromas of grilled almond and coffee.
There is in this vintage the aromatic freshness so characteristic of Ruinart. Combined with time, it expresses itself here with even more depth and aromatic complexity. More than any other cuvée, it celebrates savoir-faire of the people at the heart of each bottle.
In 2020, Ruinart revolutionised its packaging with the new "Second Skin" case, which replaced the unitary boxes. This sustainable innovation required two years of research and development.
Dom Ruinart’s chalk wrap offers a new interpretation of this innovation. Velvety soft to the touch like chalk, with its gentle reliefs and crevices crisscross, as if carved directly into chalky rock.
A hand-applied gold marking enhances its exceptional character. The discreetly engraved 1729 on the fastening button indicates the heritage of Maison Ruinart, the world’s first champagne House.
The Cuvée Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004 in magnum format has been named “Supreme World Champion”.
Ruinart is pleased to announce that Arnaud Donckele, the 3-Michelin-star chef, has joined forces with Ruinart to champion a shared vision between champagne and gastronomy.
Ruinart pays tribute to chardonnay, the emblematic grape variety of its Ruinart Blanc de Blancs and the new prestige vintage Dom Ruinart 2010.
