About This Champagne
Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2009 is the prestige all-Chardonnay cuvée of Maison Ruinart in Reims, made only from grand cru vineyards.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Ripe lemon, nectarine and white peach, then toasted almond, fresh brioche and a chalky, smoky edge.
- Palate: Rounded and generous for a Blanc de Blancs, with citrus peel, yellow orchard fruit and a fine, creamy mousse held in place by bright acidity.
- Finish: Long and mineral, with a pleasant bitter-citrus grip and a hint of toast.
Serving & Food
Chill to about 10 to 12°C and pour into a tulip or white wine glass, not a narrow flute, so the toasty side can show. Try it with grilled langoustine, turbot in beurre blanc or a simple plate of Comté.
Good to Know
How long on lees? At least nine years before release.
Is it ready to drink? Yes. It's a mature grand cru Blanc de Blancs, ready now.
