Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne 75cl

Fresh, zippy, and quietly flexing, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is the Champagne you pull out when you want something that tastes bright and layered, not loud. It’s a best-seller because it hits that rare sweet spot, easy to love on the first sip, interesting enough to keep you paying attention.

What makes it special is the choice to go all-in on Chardonnay. That one decision shapes everything, the lifted citrus, the crisp orchard fruit, and that signature Champagne-region chalky, mineral snap that makes your mouth water and reach for another pour.

It also has a creamy, rounded side that keeps it from feeling sharp or skinny. Think lemon curd, toasted brioche vibes, and a soft texture that sits nicely alongside the fizz. Dry once, then generous, that’s the mood.

• Appearance: Pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles.
• Nose: Lemon zest, green apple, white flowers, a hint of almond and fresh pastry.
• Taste: Citrus and stone fruit up front, bright acidity, chalky minerality, creamy mid-palate.
• Body: Medium-bodied for a Blanc de Blancs, lively but not thin.
• Finish: Long, clean, and gently toasty, with lingering citrus peel and mineral notes.

If you’re building a home bar that feels dialled-in, this is one of those bottles that instantly upgrades the vibe. It works for celebrations, sure, but it’s just as good when you’re turning an ordinary night into a “we’re doing something” night.

And if you’re the type who likes to compare bottles, this one’s great for that too. It has enough complexity to notice how it opens up in the glass, from bright fruit to more nutty, bready notes as it warms a touch.

Fun Fact: Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne house, founded in 1729, and it’s famous for its deep chalk cellars, originally carved from ancient limestone quarries.
