The story of Ruinart Brut
Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne house, making only champagne since 1729. Nicolas Ruinart founded the house in Reims on 1 September 1729, soon after Louis XV's 1728 edict allowed wine to be shipped in bottle rather than barrel. The first delivery of wine with bubbles went out in January 1730, and the house is now owned by LVMH.
R de Ruinart is the house's Brut, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with reserve wines from earlier harvests. Much of the Ruinart style comes from the cellars, ancient chalk pits that the house acquired in 1768. They extend 38 metres below the ground and run for 8 kilometres, and the chalk holds a steady 11 degrees Celsius. The pits were classified as a historic monument in 1931. The bottle's shape is inspired by the first champagne bottles of the eighteenth century.
Serve it well chilled. It suits oysters, smoked salmon, soft cheeses and fried chicken, and it is a good all rounder for a dinner party toast.
