Questions
What does "R de Ruinart" mean?
It's the house's original benchmark blend — the first modern expression of the Ruinart taste, built around Pinot Noir structure balanced by Chardonnay freshness, distinct from the 100% Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs.
How is this different from Ruinart Blanc de Blancs?
Blanc de Blancs is 100% Chardonnay. This blend leads with Pinot Noir (around 40–45%) for more body and structure, with Chardonnay and Meunier rounding it out.
How should I serve it?
Chilled to 8–10°C. It's ideal as an apéritif or alongside seafood and creamy cheeses.
