Craftsmanship & Story

Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house, famed for its Chardonnay mastery and historic chalk cellars beneath Reims.

Aged in the Maison’s cool crayères, it reveals crystalline purity, supple texture and the radiant balance that defines Ruinart’s enduring artistry.

Composed exclusively of Chardonnay, this cuvée showcases precision and luminosity. Up to 30% reserve wines add maturity and depth, while stainless-steel fermentation preserves freshness and fruit.
