The remaining grapes are purchased from contracted partners of winegrowing families who passionately cultivate grapes for Ruinart. This Ruinart Brut, also known as R de Ruinart, is made from three grape varieties native to the Champagne region: 49 percent Pinot Noir, 11 percent Meunier, and Ruinart's most prominent grape, 40 percent Chardonnay. Ruinart Champagnes are known for the large amount of Chardonnay they use in their Champagnes. This contributes to their unique style. When all the grapes reach perfect ripeness, they are harvested individually and manually, and verified. Only later is the final blend created, after which the bottles, with their yeast, are returned to the Ruinart cellars for at least three years to develop the mousse and mature the wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does the R de Ruinart Brut taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe result is truly stunning!

The Benedictine lived from 1657 to 1709 and was a contemporary of Louis XIV. At the age of 23, he discovered the then-trendy drink \"Wine with pearls\" at the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés near Paris. Back in his homeland, Champagne, he said that the wines that thrive there were particularly suitable for the production of sparkling wines. He passed this belief on to his family. In 1729, his cousin Nicolas Ruinart, a cloth merchant in Reims, created the first accounting book for \"Wine with pearls.\" Thus, the first Champagne house was born. The first bottles were intended as gifts for good and long-standing customers of his towels. But demand for his wines increased, and Nicolas Ruinart recognized the opening market. He gave up the cloth trade and devoted himself entirely to his champagne. Today, Champagne Ruinart is one of the most important champagne brands and is known worldwide.\n\n\n \nWhen all the grapes are perfectly ripe, they are harvested individually and manually, and verified.

Therefore, always store it in a dark place.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe special taste of Ruinart Blanc de Blancs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n What's also truly special is the taste of this magnificent Champagne. The nose is rich and full of beautiful, clean aromas of tropical fruit, light hints of citrus, and pleasant mineral notes. The taste, however, required some serious deliberation. Full, ripe, and thick were the first things we noted. Then came the nuances of tropical fruit flavors with a lovely interplay of citrus, yellow cream, brioche, and spring blossom. The finish, with the delicate mouthfeel of the subtle mousse, is truly a feast from start to finish!","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775917297743,"sku":"6205","price":83.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/Ruinart-Blanc-de-Blancs-Second-Skin.webp?v=1758697637"},{"product_id":"ruinart-rose-second-skin-champagne","title":"Ruinart Rosé Second Skin Champagne","description":"Ruinart Rosé, a gem, a real gem, whatever you want to call this Champagne. We certainly can't choose! This long-standing Champagne house knows better than anyone what it takes to make an excellent rosé. This elegant Champagne reflects the house's signature style with a vibrant and fresh expression. Ruinart Rosé is considered a tribute to the unique expertise and dedication of the Ruinart Champagne House, and it embodies the elegance and finesse for which Ruinart is known.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Manual harvest for Ruinart Rose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis beautiful Rosé Champagne from Ruinart is made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes. Specifically, 55 percent Pinot Noir and 45 percent Chardonnay. These grapes originate from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. Some of these grapes are grown in the 14 hectares of Ruinart's own vineyards, while the remaining grapes come from contracted winemaking families who have worked closely with Ruinart for generations. Harvesting is carried out entirely by hand in each vineyard and region. The grapes from the various vineyards and regions are pressed and vinified separately. Only later is the final blend composed, and the bottles, with their yeast, are put into the cellars for a minimum of three years. During this period, the wine continues to mature and the mousse (bubbles) develop in the bottle. Only when the winemaker is certain that this Rosé Champagne is ready are the bottles released.\n\n\n\n \u003ch2\u003eThe aroma and taste of the Ruinart Champagne Rosé\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n The beautiful result is something the winemaker can be proud of. Pouring this iconic bottle immediately reveals the gorgeous, rich pink color and the sparkling bubbles in the glass. The aroma is a palette of aromas we can't get enough of. Delicious notes of exotic fruit complemented by raspberry, strawberry, and cherry. A refined hint of citrus adds a delightful balance at the end. The palate is silky smooth and rich, full of flavor nuances of red fruit interspersed with notes of citrus and tropical fruit. A hint of toast and nuts remains on the palate, with a pleasant mouthfeel thanks to the subtle mousse. What a fantastic rosé Champagne this Ruinart Champagne Rosé is!","brand":"Moet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775900553295,"sku":"6207","price":92.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/RuinartRoseSecondSkinChampagne.webp?v=1772033345"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/collections\/Ruinart.webp?v=1766388995","url":"https:\/\/perfectewijn.be\/en\/collections\/wijnhuis-ruinart.oembed","provider":"Perfecte Wijn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
