Description
Grape: made exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnays. 90% of which are grown on the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Avize. Chouilly and Cramant) and 10% on the Montagne de Reims (Sillery). This iconic grape variety reflects the rich diversity of terroirs in the Champagne region and is present in all Maison Ruinart’s cuvées.
“This cuvée bears the hallmark of Ruinart’s signature fresh, aromatic chardonnay. Time allows her to take on even greater depth, fullness and complexity.”
Frédéric Panaïotis, Maison Ruinart Cellar Master.
