Champagne Brut R de Ruinart Half Bottle

The Champagne Brut R de Ruinart in half bottle format immediately expresses the style of the Ruinart Maison: elegance, freshness, and a refined aromatic profile, supported by a balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. It is an ideal choice for those seeking a versatile, pleasant, and recognizable Champagne, capable of naturally accompanying both toasts and meals.

Territory and wine style

Produced in Champagne by Ruinart, this Brut is made from a blend composed of 40% Chardonnay, 57% Pinot Noir, and 3% Pinot Meunier, with a portion of reserve wines from the two previous vintages. Vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel and malolactic fermentation help define a clean, harmonious, and well-integrated profile. The dosage of 9 g/l places it in a classic Brut register, capable of combining lift, roundness, and pleasantness.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it appears bright, with a yellow color and golden reflections, crossed by a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it offers fresh and complex aromas of pear, Granny Smith apple, apricot, hazelnuts, and fresh almonds, with floral, spicy nuances and more evolved hints of brioche and biscuit. On the palate, it is crisp on entry, balanced and round, with a fleshy texture and a long finish. The freshness of the Chardonnay provides lift and precision, while the well-measured dosage accompanies without weighing down.

Recommended pairings

The Champagne Brut R de Ruinart is perfect as an aperitif, but it also pairs very well with delicate and refined dishes. It goes well with oysters, grilled scallops, fish carpaccios, light tartares, sole meunière, and essential seafood-based first courses. Excellent also with young, creamy cheeses, such as Chaource or Langres, thanks to the contrast between freshness, softness, and aromatic complexity.

Serving temperature

Serve the Champagne Brut R de Ruinart at a temperature of 8-10 °C, in glasses suitable for enhancing its aromas and perlage. It does not require long aeration; it is sufficient to open it shortly before serving to best appreciate its freshness and expressive finesse.
