R de Ruinart Brut – The Essence of Elegance
A Harmonious Blend of Prestige
R de Ruinart Brut embodies the legacy of the world’s oldest champagne house. This refined cuvée combines fresh chardonnay with well-structured pinot noir and a touch of meunier. The result is a balanced and vibrant champagne, crafted with precision and passion.
Each bottle is a tribute to Maison Ruinart’s dedication to excellence. The blend consists of 40–50 carefully selected crus, sourced from the finest terroirs of Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. Aged for 2–3 years, this champagne achieves a perfect balance of freshness, structure, and aromatic depth.
A Crafted Composition of Grape Varieties
Ruinart Brut’s complexity comes from its expertly curated blend. It consists of:
- 40–45% Pinot Noir – Providing structure and depth
- 40% Chardonnay – Bringing freshness and elegance
- 10–15% Meunier – Adding roundness and fruitiness
Each grape variety contributes to the champagne’s signature style. The inclusion of 20–30% reserve wines ensures consistency and richness across vintages.
Vinification – A Meticulous Process
Every bottle of R de Ruinart Brut is crafted with precision:
- Hand-harvested grapes

- Malolactic fermentation for enhanced smoothness
- Aged in Ruinart’s historic chalk cellars for 2–3 years
- Dosage of 7 g/L for the perfect balance
