"Ruinart is the first Champagne House, founded in 1729 in Épernay by Nicolas Ruinart, nephew of the Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart.
 
 
Located in the heart of Reims, the House safeguards a true treasure. The Ruinart chalk cellars, unique monuments of history and architectural prowess, have been classified as a historic site since 1931 and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since July 2015. Nearly 40 meters underground, in the cool, dark expanse of cathedral-like caves, precious bottles patiently await the light. Elegance, style, and timelessness define the DNA of Ruinart Champagne, making it one of the most esteemed brands worldwide and a symbol of French art de vivre.
 
 
Since 1988, Ruinart has been operated by MHCS (LVMH Group), which also owns Moët & Chandon, Krug, and Veuve Clicquot.
