As the oldest Champagne House, founded in Reims in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, this iconic brand has a unique destiny, traversing centuries to become the emblem of French art de vivre. A pioneer in every aspect, Ruinart has also committed strongly to preserving the soils, transmitting craftsmanship, and culture.

Ruinart is globally renowned for its intense champagnes with great aromatic freshness, significantly marked by the imprint of Chardonnay and fine toasted notes, thus perpetuating the "Ruinart taste" characterized by suppleness and elegance.

Its iconic bottle and the Dom Ruinart cuvée have contributed to its success, under the guidance of cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis. Fresh, spontaneous, and expressive, Ruinart champagnes - and particularly the R de Ruinart cuvée - fully embody the contemporary era, featuring precise dosages and fine bubbles. Highly seductive, these champagnes always make a remarkable impression!
