Process & Profile
Ruinart Rosé Brut Champagne is a legacy creation from Maison Ruinart, the world's first Champagne house, established in 1729 in Reims, France. This exquisite blend is crafted with 55% Pinot Noir (18-19% vinified into red wine) and 45% Chardonnay, sourced predominantly from premier crus in the Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blancs, and Vallée de la Marne. The wine's unique character is enhanced by the addition of 20-25% reserve wines, ensuring consistent complexity and quality. The Champagne undergoes malolactic fermentation and spends 2-3 years aging in the Ruinart chalk cellars, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, before being dosed at 8-9 g/L.Tasting Notes
