    Ruinart Second Skin Blanc de Blancs celebrates the sustainably focused winemaking methods of the maison. Encased in a new type of paper box made from responsibly farmed trees, it contains no plastic. Blended from the harvest of various years to ensure consistent quality, this blanc de blancs champagne is a classic example of the style – smooth with a characteristic luminosity. Intensely aromatic and fresh, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is the maison’s signature champagne, created with 100% chardonnay from terroirs in Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Blended from the harvest of various years to ensure consistent quality, this blanc de blancs champagne is a classic example of the style – smooth with a characteristic luminosity.

    Ruinart carefully cultivates its vines, respecting ancestral traditions. Three grape varieties make up the blends of its cuvées: chardonnay, the Maison's emblem, pinot Noir and pinot Meunier. The grapes come mainly from the Côte des Blancs, where chardonnay is king, and from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims. Here, the grapes benefit from optimal sunshine, cultivated on chalky soils that perfectly regulate the vines' water status. This terroir produces taut, chiselled, powerful wines.

    A very appealing style that captures the elegance of chardonnay in a way that is still immensely satisfying. The aromas are all based around lemon, grapefruit, fresh floral notes and stone fruits. The palate delivers a ripe impression, flavoursome and full, with peach custard and lemon brulee. Acidity is nicely placed below. Drink now.

    Maison Ruinart

    On September 1st 1729, in Reims, at the heart of the Champagne region, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart, creating the world's first ever champagne-producing company. This gave rise to an enterprise that continues to flourish and to prosper nearly three hundred years later. The intuition of his uncle, the monk who had first shown him the way, had thus inspired an initiative that was to make history.

    Tasting notes

    NOSE
    Lemon, Fresh Peach, Touch of Spice

    Ripe lemon, juicy pear, or perhaps a touch of freshly picked peach dominate the initial impression. As the bouquet unfolds, delicate floral notes emerge, reminiscent of jasmine or acacia. A surprising touch of spice adds complexity, with hints of ginger and pink peppercorns adding a touch of intrigue.

    PALATE
    Smooth, Tropical Notes, Rounded

    This champagne strikes a beautiful balance between tension and roundness. The initial sip offers a delightful effervescence that quickly gives way to a smooth and enveloping structure. The fresh fruit flavours from the nose transition seamlessly to the palate, with ripe citrus and tropical notes taking center stage.

    FINISH
    Long, Delicate, Delightful

    A long and delicate finish. The vibrant fruit flavours linger on the palate, leaving a lasting impression. This delightful experience is further enhanced by the subtle effervescence, ensuring a truly satisfying conclusion.
