Bready nose with some real interest. Solid stuff – something to get your teeth into, in a good way. Very clean and neat and tastes as though it had quite a bit of age on lees.

Bright greenish-yellow, silvery reflections, fine persistent mousse. White apple fruit with a hint of lime zest, delicate hazelnut, candied orange zest. Juicy, fine yellow tropical fruit, pleasant acidity, mineral touch, subtle floral honey on the finish; versatile.

The 1998 Dom Ruinart Brut Vintage is simply gorgeous. This taut, focused Champagne is currently quite shut down and appears to be holding back much of its potential. Still, the wine possesses plenty of density in its ripe Chardonnay fruit, smoke and minerals, with a long, subtle finish. All this wine needs is time in bottle. If past vintages are any indication, the 1998 should age beautifully. Readers who enjoy fresh wines will find plenty to admire in this wine now, but those who enjoy Champagnes with a little age on them will want to wait a few years before enjoying this fine effort.

Ruinart, one of Champagne's oldest brands, produces a fresh, delicate style of non-vintage, with a soft mousse and good bottle age toast and yeast. The wine is edged with citrus, giving a fresh, apéritif style of Champagne.

Starts out rich, showing peach and apricot aromas and flavors, with an undercurrent of grapefruit and mineral. The finish is tighter, with a dry, chalky feel.

Champagne Ruinart is a Champagne House created on September 1st, 1729 in Reims by Nicolas Ruinart, the nephew of Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart. It is one of the oldest Champagne houses still in operation, after the Gosset house, founded in 1584. Champagne Ruinart is a prestigious champagne house at the origin of the "RUINART taste" which is characterized by finesse, elegance and distinction. Champagne Ruinart: A House that through the centuries and its successors has always prioritized the culture of excellence, conveyed by the fundamental values of authenticity, openness, refinement and quality... This pursuit of perfection is notably illustrated through the dominance of Chardonnay, which is used in the composition of the entire Ruinart range and the prestigious Dom Ruinart cuvées, like a golden thread that magnifies the champagnes. Chardonnay illuminates all these cuvées, enhancing their brilliance and giving them this very particular fluidity that makes them recognizable among all others. So many characteristics perpetuating over time the culture and art of living of Ruinart, which today stands as an aesthete of champagne throughout the world.
