Brimming with pear, white peach and citrus fruit this enchanting Blanc de Blancs is so bright and succulent and is very hard to resist. I love the very long, silky and clean finish which has beautiful balance. Really fine mousse. Drink now. (SP)

The current release of Dom Ruinart’s non-vintage Blanc de Blancs is from the base year of 2019. It was disgorged in November of 2022, after two and a half years aging sur latte and finished with a dosage of seven grams per liter. The bouquet is bright and expressive, offering up scents of lemon, pear, a lovely base of chalky minerality, bread dough and a topnote of white lilies. On the palate the wine is full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core, good soil undertow, elegant mousse and a long, well-balanced and impressively complex finish. This is drinking very nicely already, but seems likely to be even more tasty a year or two down the road, for those inclined to cellar non-vintage bubbly.

A fresh, graceful Champagne marked by enticing aromas of elderflower and toasted almond. Offers a finely detailed mousse that carries flavors of white peach, Gala apple, grated ginger and preserved lemon, underscored by minerally hints of oyster shell and smoke that linger on the finish. (AN)

The latest rendition of Ruinart's NV Blanc de Blancs unwinds in the glass with scents of citrus zest, green apple, white flowers and fresh bread. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and incisive, with a vibrant core of fruit and brisk acids, complemented by a mouth-filling mousse, it concludes with a saline finish. (WK)

Notes

Half bottles. Ruinart is one of Champagne's oldest houses, founded by Nicholas Ruinart in 1729, himself a descendant of Dom Thierry Ruinart, the other "Dom" responsible for so much of the early viticulture progress of the appellation. Only Gosset is older, but apparently it was Ruinart that was first to base his business on sparkling, rather than still, Champagne. This Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively from Grand and Premier Cru Chardonnay, much of which is estate fruit from the biggest landholder in all of Champagne: Ruinart's parent company LVMH. The feature that sets this stainless-steel-fermented wine apart from other Blanc de Blancs is the combination of grapes from both the Côtes de Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, giving it a more rounded style. I find some chalky minerality in this Champagne, but also lychee fruit and texture. It seems sweeter than the claimed dosage of 8 grams per liter. (Gary Westby, K&L Champagne buyer)
