R De Ruinart 750mL

Tasting Notes

At first the nose is delicate, fresh and fruity, filled with white-fleshed fruits (pears, pippin apples), apricots, as well as hazelnut and fresh almond. Floral and spicy notes add an extra layer of complexity. The second nose reveals superb olfactory intensity on a more biscuity, brioche-like base. A perfectly balanced wine, supple and suave, with a delivery of aromas of yellow fruits, well-ripened stone fruits and yellow plum tart. A nice roundness, paired with a harmony and a pleasing persistence, envelope the palate. The finish is long, the well-integrated dosage giving way to the characteristic freshness of the Chardonnay which dominates the blend.
