This is the very first Rosé to see the light of day. Maison Ruinart has devoted part of its production to it since the 18th century. It is famous for its freshness and intense red fruit flavors. This Rosé blend is composed of 45% Chardonnay from Côte des blancs and Montagne de Reims, and 55% Pinot Noir (12% of which is vinified red) from Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, with more than 30 crus making up the final composition. Let's not forget the 25% of Réserve wines from the last two years to bring complexity to the whole. Fermentation is complete, and takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wines spend 3 years on lees in the cellar, and after disgorgement receive a dosage of 8g/L.
This Champagne Rosé offers a coral color with orange highlights. The first nose is intense and eXOtic, on pomegranate, lychee and guava, then more airy, on rose and red berries. Subsequent aromas are warmer and more generous, with cinnamon, Tonka bean, nutmeg and stone. The palate is at once round, delicate and structured with its elegant notes of peppermint, blood orange and pink grapefruit.
This Champagne Ruinart Rosé will sublimate a fine duck fillet with pink grapefruit and endive-grenade-basil salad, or simply on a tartar of red tuna.
