About the House "Fréderic Panaïotis grew up between his grandparents’ chardonnay vines in Champagne, and the variety remains close to his heart, making him very much at home as chef de cave at Ruinart since 2007. The longest-established champagne house of all has an affinity with chardonnay’s freshness, finesse and elegance, and all of its finest cuvées lead with this variety, even its prestige rosé. Without the might of Moët & Chandon, the brand impact of Veuve Clicquot or the cachet of Krug, Ruinart lurks as the low-profile member of the Louis Vuitton–Moët Hennessy family. On Reims’ famed Rue de Crayères, its premises hide behind the grand street presence of Pommery and Veuve Clicquot. This is just as Panaïotis would have it. ‘In France we have a saying, if you live underground, you live happy!’ he says. But on its performance, Ruinart has no need to lie low. Its cuvées are pure and pitch-perfect, singing with the crystalline precision of chardonnay." Tyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2018-2019 Journalist review "Vivacity, elegance and enticing appeal unite in this fresh, young blend that exemplifies the exciting mood of Ruinart. The fine chalk mineral texture, pale colour and pure lemon and apple fruit of the Côte des Blancs define a honed and refreshing style, accented with subtle struck flint and grilled toast reduction that speaks Ruinart. Montagne de Reims chardonnay is strategically deployed to provide body and mid-palate eshiness, without diminishing the line and mineral structure of the Côte des Blancs. Bottle age has built nougat and toast complexity, which mesh seamlessly with grand fruit persistence. An outstanding Ruinart Blanc de Blancs." Tyson Stelzer - The Champagne Guide 2018-2019
