Buy Champagne Ruinart, Blanc de Blancs, Brut Wine - Berry Bros. & Rudd
Classic and springy, with a pastoral, fresh feel and a bright pale straw hue, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is the calling card for the house. This release is based on the 2020 vintage, with some reserves from 2019 and 2018, all raised in stainless steel tank and lifted with 7 grams per litre dosage. Opening to floral aromas, a note of salted white grapefruit, and a hint of soft, chalky earth, it offers a fluffy mousse and a juicy palate, with notes of candied apple in a medium-bodied frame. A sleek and refreshing Champagne with an approachable kiss of sweet, ripe fruit will hold up over the coming years, but I would prefer to enjoy it young to preserve its freshness.
