Ruinart
Since its foundation in 1729, excellence and savoir-faire have been at the heart of Ruinart, the oldest Champagne house in existence. These are some of the most famous champagnes in the world…and for good reason!
Ruinart, the longest established champagne house, was founded in 1729. It is based in Reims and currently part of the LVMH group. At the time of Louis XIV, one Dom Thierry Ruinart (1657-1709), a Benedictine monk from Champagne, was working in the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris. Here, he became aware of worldly society and the "bubbling wine" that was all the rage with young aristocrats. He inspired his brother and nephew, who were still living in Champagne, to start producing this wine. 20 years after his death (in 1729), his nephew Nicolas Ruinart founded the eponymous champagne house – the very first in history. Maison Ruinart owns some fantastic chalk tunnels which it uses as cellars and have UNESCO world heritage status. The house remained a family-run business for almost two centuries before entering the LVMH fold. However, it has retained its independence and kept its own unique style, nurtured by the cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis. With their high Chardonnay content, the champagnes are delicately mineral, and often have some chalky notes and a fruity and floral aromatic palette. Their very light character makes for a particularly good aperitif. The house has also wisely refreshed its white and rose Dom Ruinart prestige cuvées. The vineyards are located primarily on the Montagne de Reims and complemented by supplies from a few other very selective areas. Ruinart is unquestionably one of the most famous champagnes in the world.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY...
BETTANE & DESSEAUVE
Created in 1729, Ruinart has never been in such good shape, now making champagnes with spectacular precision and aromatic power under the guidance of Frédéric Panaïotis. The estate owns some magnificent chalk caves where the wines are aged. Passionate about Chardonnay, these champagnes are beautifully delicate with expressions of minerality and citrus. Equally light in style are the rosés, just as brilliant.
LA REVUE DU VIN DE FRANCE
The first champagne house, founded in 1729, enjoys a strong reputation in France thanks to the remarkable work carried out on the style of the wine and their marketing. The Chardonnay grapes, the fine reduction on lees, and the wine’s creamy character have all found great success with clients loyal to the brand. And under the guidance of Frédéric Panaïotis, head cellarman, the wines have continued to improve in purity and precision.
