Merchant's description

Dom Ruinart Rosé 1996 is a notable vintage from the prestigious Ruinart Champagne house, established in 1729 – the oldest Champagne house in existence. This wine consists predominantly of Chardonnay, complemented by Pinot Noir sourced from Grand Cru vineyards. The bouquet presents subtle notes of red fruit, including raspberry and wild strawberry, underpinned by a delicate, toasty character derived from extended ageing. The palate offers a balance of acidity and richness, reflecting the vintage’s maturity.
