Description
"Ruinart Blanc de Blancs includes some 25–30 different chardonnay crus, predominantly from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. They reflect the rich diversity of the Champagne terroir. A supple, harmonious attack on the palate, firm but rounded. A voluptuous texture and vinosity that is not excessive, supported by excellent freshness. A very refreshing mineral finish. At first very intense on the nose, giving way to fresh fruit notes, particularly ripe citrus and exotic fruits (pineapple). A highly refined floral second nose with notes of linden and white fruits (white peach). Beautiful pale yellow colour with glints of gold and green, a vibrant, luminous color. Active effervescence with a fine, persistent release of bubbles." - House Notes
"This is very fresh, harmonious wine with a silky texture and perfect for the hot summer in Queensland! Soft honeysuckle and white jasmine nose, flavours of golden delicious apple, light pineapple, honey-dew melon, lemon rind and pear, followed by a layer of French toast with creamy-honey. There is an edging of roasted macadamia nuts, some lemon rind and hints of salty sea bush. A very refreshing delicious champagne!" - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
"A toasty blanc de blanc with an aromatic overtone of smoke and lemon peel notes accenting flavors of poached apricot, brioche, passion fruit coulis and fresh thyme. Fine and creamy in texture, with a racy finish." - 93 Points, Wine Spectator
