Been a minute since I’ve had Ruinart. Especially, a Blanc de blanc. From 375ml. The mouthfeel, rich with soft mousse. Slightly bruised golden apple, touch of apple cider, yellow pear, ripe-juicy yellow peach, juicy pineapple, tropical melons, green caramel apple, brioche-baguette crust, frothy cream, soft, white spice, vanilla-vanillin, saline-sea spray, dry, volcanic minerals, dry limestone marl, crumbled-dry chalk, yellow flowers framed in white, spring flowers in greens, pleasant, soft acidity and well balanced, mid toned/structured, elegant finish that lasts nearly a minute and long sets on beautiful minerality. 91+ The top left cave picture tells you why no other region can replicate that kind/much chalkiness in wine. The roots swim it. For me, there is no real substitute.

Bright nose with tropical notes of underripe pineapple, lemon and lime. Lemon bread, white mushroom and chive. Silky mousse that leaps into lime the pineapple, lemon verbena, lime pith and creamy lemon. The yeast is there around the edges, but shapes more than defines. Textural perfection. #champagneruinart #ruinart #blancdeblanc #champagne #chardonnay #rheims
