Ruinart

The first champagne Maison founded in 1729, Ruinart is held in high regard in the hearts of purists. The historic Maison owes its birth to visionary monk and forerunner Dom Thierry Ruinart. Having gauged the nobility's infatuation with this effervescent wine that did not yet bear the name Champagne, Dom Ruinart wrote the Maison's founding act, which is still preserved today.

Located in the heart of Reims, Maison Ruinart holds a true treasure trove. Unique, historical and architectural monuments, Ruinart's chalk quarries have been classified as a historic site since 1931 and inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since July 2015. Nearly 40 meters deep, in the darkness and cold of the cathedral-like quarries, precious bottles wait patiently before seeing the light.

An emblematic white grape variety, chardonnay is the signature and soul of Ruinart, leaving its distinctive imprint in each of the House's cuvées. From the largest limestone soils of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, chardonnay reveals its nobility, purity and aromatic freshness in the emblematic wines, such as the legendary blanc de blancs, in the iconic bottle, or Ruinart's "R," the quintessential expression of Ruinart taste.

Elegance, timeless style define the DNA of a champagne house that figures among the most appreciated brands in the Hexagon, embodying the excellence of Frenchart de vivre worldwide.
