Ruinart Champagne Rosé Brut Reims NV

45% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims vineyards. 55% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne vineyards. 20 to 25% of the wine comes from reserve wines from the 2 previous years. The fullness and character of the Pinot Noir balances expertly with the freshness of the Chardonnay.

The color is a delicate pomegranate pink with very slightly orange reflections. The sparkling, light effervescence has a persistent foam. The nose is subtle and fresh, first offering tropical fruits (guava and lychee) and small berries (raspberries, cherries and wild strawberries). These are followed by rose and pomegranate notes which complete the complex, intense aromatic profile, dominated by somewhat undeveloped primary aromas.

On the palate the attack is distinct and full, cradled by a gentle effervescence. The aromas of freshly picked berries are fully expressed. The balance brings together a delightful freshness and voluptuous body, expressed by an elegant bracing touch of mint and pink grapefruit.

The history of Ruinart rosé, the very first rosé champagne to make its appearance, dates back to the 18th century. While Ruinart rosé champagne first appeared over 250 years ago, its excellent quality remains the essential feature of the production of this delicate wine to this day.
