Ruinart Champagne Blanc de Blancs Brut NV is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.

From all premier cru vineyards - crisp green apples, citrus, and jasmine flowers all open up to a bright but lightly toasted finish. A beautifully balanced champagne that is always gone before you know it.

Left Lettie Teague's WSJ On Wine

Known as the oldest established champagne house, Ruinart has been producing wine since 1729 to please royalty in the Court of Versailles. And to this day, the wines are stunning, texturally decadent, yet focused and complex.

With Chef de Caves Frederic Panaiotis at the helm since 2007, one could say that the champagnes are better than ever. Fred's sharp acumen, passion for wine, and inimitable demeanor make him one of the most significant figures in Champagne today. While he modestly considers himself a guardian of the house style for other generations to follow, we think the wines are distinctively showing more precision and clarity since his tenure.

Professional Reviews

Robert Parker

RP 90
"This is a fabulous version of Ruinart’s NV Brut Blanc de Blancs. The wine seems fresher, more vibrant and less obviously sweet than in the past, all of which makes this a far more interesting wine. The trademark profile of lemon, jasmine and green apples is very much in the forefront while the wine’s textural finesse and length are both first-class. This release of the NV Brut makes a great introduction to the wines of Ruinart, Champagne’s oldest house."

Wine Spectator

WS 93
"A graceful Champagne, sleek and finely knit, with a subtle range of nectarine, lemon curd, almond blossom and ground ginger flavors, expanding on the silky mousse. Offers a lingering, mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2024."

Wine Enthusiast

WE 92
"Ruinart is a Chardonnay house, so this wine can be considered one of its signature cuvées. With some bottle age, it is crisp while also toasty with secondary flavors that are balancing the apple and citrus fruits. The wine is well balanced, the soft aftertaste still in keeping with its crisper, textured flavors."

My Go To

Ruinart Blanc de Blanc is my go to French Champagne; for New Year’s Eve, for my birthday, for Thursday. It is light and effervescent, with millions of the tiniest bubbles. Citrus, bright fruit with a crisp toast finish. Divine.
