Colour
The wine presents an intense golden hue with green reflections, displaying silvery nuances that attest to its youthful character, supported by this late vintage.
Bouquet
The nose offers a complex array of aromas, with exceptional freshness. It opens with distinct toasty notes, featuring hints of dried fruits like almond and ripe wheat, with pastry-like undertones. Intense citrus scents and zesty juicy fruits accentuate the wine’s freshness. These aromas harmoniously blend with spring flower fragrances and a more mineral and powdery dimension reminiscent of chalk, complemented by delicate smoky notes.

BORN FROM NATURE, ELEVATED OVER TIME
“Releasing a Dom Ruinart cuvée is a rare opportunity to discover the imprint of a year in a great Blanc de Blancs. 2013 was marked by a very late harvest bringing more freshness and toasty aromas enhanced by ageing under cork.”

Frédéric Panaïotis, Ruinart Cellar Master.

PAIRING SUGGESTIONS
The fruitiness and freshness of the wine have led Valérie Radou, chef in residence at Ruinart, to combine this cuvée with fluid textures and also fresh ingredients.
She recommends pairing this cuvée with vegetable-based dishes such as parsnip, or with firm-fleshed fish and seafood such as turbot or oysters.
