Our oenologists' opinion
Well-rounded
Bright lemon yellow colour. The nose is frank and open, with white fruit, stewed fruit, toasted notes, a hint of stale bread and white pepper. Good balance on a frank, straightforward, fresh and nervous wine. Creamy bubbles. Nice character which prolongs the aromas of the nose. Good frank length, quite sapid, a little short.

Features
Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.
Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.
Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.
Do you know ?
Classified as a historic monument in 1931, "Les Crayères" date back to Gallo-Roman times. Located beneath the city of Reims, the stones extracted from these cellars were used to fortify the city.

RUINART
It was during a trip to the abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés that Dom Thierry Ruinart realised the potential of his native Champagne region to produce the famous bubbly wine. Officially founded in 1729 by his nephew Nicolas Ruinart. Today, the prestigious house continues to thrive under its motto: "The oldest Champagne house". The fruit of a year marked by a highly contrasting climate, R de Ruinart 2016 presents a balance between roundness and freshness. In this cuvée, the meunier grape complements the harmonious blend of chardonnay and pinot noir. A well-balanced wine with beautifully complex aromas.
