(3-2009) The 1996 Dom Ruinart is particularly large-scaled for this generally subtle wine, an impression that was reinforced when I tasted a large number of vintages a few months ago. This is a bold, weighty Dom Ruinart that continues to change in the glass, revealing new shades of its smoke and mineral-infused fruit with every taste. The 1996 is a particularly good vintage for Dom Ruinart, and also one of the more accessible Champagnes of that year.

Strong aromas of toast and graphite lead off in this exotic Champagne. Apricot, butterscotch and grapefruit notes follow up as this cruises to a long finish. It's refined, with a vibrant structure.

Deemed to be a great vintage, even 'the vintage of the century'. Producers said that they had not seen the like since 1955.

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.
