Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2013 - 75CL
As part of its quest for excellence, the Maison works to enhance the Dom Ruinart ageing process and give its cuvées greater depth. Cellar Master Frédéric Panaïotis and his team decided to reintroduce the traditional cork drawing technique technique of ageing the wine under cork.
As the second Dom Ruinart vintage bottled under cork after 2010, Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2013 confirms that this was the right choice. When combined with a ten-year ageing period, the cork provides a subtle additional dimension to the nose and palate.
A decision that also involves the return of a century-old gesture: manual disgorgement.
HOW TO ENJOY
HOW TO ENJOY



Color: At first glance, the champagne looks golden yellow, with light greenish hues and a fine, persistent sparkle.
The Nose: The first nose reveals a powdery, floral and mineral note evoking the chypre universe of perfumery. The second nose brings together toasted and spicy notes such as nutmeg mace, roasted hazelnut and almond, and a hint of coffee.
Palate: Fig leaf aromas mingle with notes of black tea and fresh spices in the mouth. A lingering fresh finish is elevated by an elegant bitterness.
Resident chef Valérie Radou and cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis recommend pairing this cuvée with spicy roast dishes such as Black Pork tenderloin, or with smoked or grilled fish or seafood such as smoked blue lobster.

“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.
