"Ruinart is the First Champagne House founded in 1729 in Épernay by Nicolas Ruinart, the nephew of the Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart.
  
Located in the heart of Reims, Maison Ruinart watches over a treasure. Unique, historical monuments and architectural feats, the Ruinart chalk pits have been classified as a historic site since 1931 and included on the UNESCO world heritage list since July 2015. Nearly 40 meters underground, in the darkness and coolness of the cathedral-like cellars, the precious bottles wait before entering the light. Elegance, style and timelessness define the DNA of the Maison de Champagne Ruinart, one of the most appreciated brands, embodying the excellence of the French art of living in the four corners of the world.
  
Since 1988 it has been operated by the company MHCS (LVMH group) which also owns the Moët et Chandon, Krug and Veuve Clicquot brands.

The first nose releases intense aromas of exotic fruits: pomegranate, lychee and guava, supported by floral essences of Damask Rose and freshly picked red fruits. The second nose reveals scents of warm spices such as tonka bean and nutmeg.
  
On the palate, the freshness of this vintage combines with a fine structure and delicate roundness.
  
The tasting ends with an elegant touch with notes of peppermint and pink grapefruit."
