Fruity flavors (exotic, passion fruit, yellow fruit) mingle with aromas of cereals, cookies, dried fruit and a touch of salt. |

This vintage is harmonious, combining roundness and freshness with a fine balance between tension and smoothness. A superb champagne with a persistent, delicate finish. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
Made from a majority of Grands Crus and Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, the 2016 Champagne R de Ruinart Brut Millésimé is a well-balanced, fresh wine that has benefited from a warm year and 6 years' aging on laths. The result is beautiful aromas of exotic fruit, passion fruit, and fleshy yellow fruit, complemented by biscuity touches, cereals, and dried fruit. The structure continues this ultra-pleasant, delicate register in great harmony with a saline, zesty, and persistent finish. A great champagne combining roundness and freshness, an accurate illustration of Ruinart's taste! Best served as an aperitif at the table, with a blanquette of monkfish cheeks or a vegetable and parmesan tart. |
