The House of Ruinart

Founded in 1729, Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne House.

Chardonnay has become central to the Ruinart identity, prized for its freshness, aromatic elegance, and ability to develop remarkable complexity with time.

Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is perhaps the purest expression of that philosophy—a Champagne built around finesse rather than power.

The Beauty of Blanc de Blancs

Blanc de Blancs literally means “white from whites” and, in Champagne, most commonly refers to Champagne made entirely from white Chardonnay grapes.

The style is loved for its freshness, elegance, and citrus-driven character, making it particularly appealing both as an aperitif and alongside seafood.

Ruinart takes this further with a wonderfully silky texture and expressive fruit, creating a Champagne that feels luxurious while remaining exceptionally refreshing.

Food Pairing

A natural partner for seafood. Pairs beautifully with oysters, caviar, scallops, lobster, crab, shrimp, ceviche, sushi, sashimi, and grilled fish.

It is equally enjoyable with burrata, fresh goat cheese and delicate vegetable dishes.

Serve well chilled at approximately 8–10°C, preferably in a tulip-shaped Champagne or white-wine glass, to let its aromas fully develop.

The Tasting Room Recommendation

For lovers of elegant Champagne, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is an essential bottle to experience.

Compared with richer, more Pinot Noir-driven Champagnes, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is all about freshness, finesse and purity. Citrus, white flowers and stone fruit are carried by fine bubbles and a beautifully silky texture.

It is particularly impressive with oysters, caviar or sashimi, but equally difficult to beat simply served well chilled as an aperitif.

Elegant enough for a special occasion yet effortlessly enjoyable whenever the mood calls for Champagne.
