Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest Champagne producing Maison. At the origin of this adventure we find Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk contemporary of Louis XIV, to whom the cuvée Dom Ruinart is also dedicated, produced from Grand Cru Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, with long aging of 10 years in the Crayères of the Maison Ruinart. Precisely on 1 September 1729, Nicolas Ruinart, a trader by profession, created an accounting register dedicated to vin de bulles and pursuing the intuition of his monk uncle. Already in the middle of the century, the purchase of the Crayères, the precious gypsum quarries for the refinement of Champagne , will represent another happy intuition to characterize these products in an unequivocal way. With Ruinart we are faced with truly refined Champagne and in which the production specialization blends with a lifestyle fully animated by beauty and taste. Giving priority to Chardonnay as an emblem of momentum and fragrance, Ruinart takes extreme care of all the expressions of the grape to create a special Blanc de Blancs when the best conditions allow it.

Another aspect of considerable importance concerns the commitment to sustainable viticulture which includes the protection of biodiversity and passionate work in the vineyard in full respect of the environment. From the harvesting phase to the vinification, each process is followed with involvement and according to the use of scrupulous techniques. A big difference between the Ruinart cuvée and the Millesimati is the origin of the grapes, in the second case taken from Grand Cru vineyards and capable of wines with great aging potential. Another delicate phase consists in the extraction of the must from the grapes according to a soft pressing and aimed at maintaining the aromatic range expressed by the bunches. The task of the Chef de cave is also exciting, protagonist in the precious assembly phase in which the base wines are combined to create the product to be made sparkling. During the second fermentation in the bottle, the Ruinart Champagnes stay up to 10 years in the Crayères recently recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here the wait always anticipates the appearance of an inimitable wine, the result of constancy and competence that are expressed in Champagne such as Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, Ruinart Rosé, Ruinart Brut and Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2009.
