The very first champagne house, Ruinart, was founded 290 years ago. With a rich and complex history, the Maison has never stopped developing and promoting its own special art of living. Ruinart's Blanc de Blancs Extra Brut is 100% Chardonnay from various years, 20 to 25% of which are reserve wines from the 2 previous years. A large majority of Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards for aromatic refinement, supplemented by Sézannais wines known to provide maturity. Finally, several wines from the north of the Vesle valley gives it a light, fresh touch. The 2010 Blanc de Blancs is a perfect champagne for aperitifs, particularly in spring and summer. It is an excellent complement to seafood and shellfish and would be lovely with a sea bass or bream tartare.
