" R " Ruinart : bottle without case

"Ruinart's signature cuvée is a blend of 40% Chardonnay, 40-45% Pinot Noir and 10-15% Meunier, including 25-30% reserve wines from the two reserve years preceding the base. A brilliant and limpid yellow color with golden reflections. Beautiful brilliance, the effervescence is sustained, with a very present cordon. A first fine and fresh nose, marked by notes of white flesh fruits (pear, reinette apple), apricot as well as hazelnuts and fresh almonds. Some floral and spicy notes bring an additional complexity. The second nose brings a nice olfactory complexity, on a brioche and biscuity background. Very frank attack in mouth. A well-balanced wine, quite round and fleshy on the attack with aromas of ripe fruit."
