Ruinart
Deep beneath Reims, inside the white hush of the crayères, Ruinart carries the date 1 September 1729 like a seal—the first Champagne house, resting in chalk “cathedrals” now part of UNESCO heritage.
Chardonnay is the emblem: Côte des Blancs purity and the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims, where calcareous chalk regulates water and coolness. In “R de Ruinart”, fresh Chardonnay (about 40%) is woven with Pinot Noir (40–45%) and Meunier (10–15%) from 40–50 crus; the presswork favors the coeur de cuvée, and reserve wines keep the house line unwavering. Then come tirage, long ageing sur lie, and disgorgement—time measured in lees and silence.
Between pupitres, remuage and a precise dosage, luxury becomes architecture: not noise, but craft—Champagne breathing through chalk, year after year.Ruinart
