FEATURES
The Ruinart Blanc Singulier Édition 19 is a groundbreaking cuvée from the oldest Champagne house, specifically crafted to interpret and express the unique characteristics of climatically exceptional warm vintages. The 2019 vintage was notable for three intense summer heatwaves and record temperatures, which accelerated the vine cycle and led to an early, ripe harvest. This 100% Chardonnay Champagne is a blend of 77% base wines from the 2019 harvest and 23% reserve wines from previous years (2018, 2017, 2016), aged in both oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. It stands as a testament to Ruinart's innovative spirit and its ability to adapt to climate change while preserving its signature elegance.
【A unique cuvée reflecting the distinct aromatic profile of a climatically exceptional warm vintage, showcasing Ruinart's innovation in the face of climate change】. Tasting notes reveal a diverse, mature aroma with initial citrus notes, complemented by almond and bread, evolving to orange peel, apple skin, marzipan, and a warm, spicy character. The palate is ripe with delicate bubbles, transitioning to a round and opulent texture, featuring flavors of ripe peach, pear, and candied lemon with velvety peels. The finish is long, powerful, and marked by warm, spicy, and nutty nuances. Other descriptions include nectarine, nashi pear, candied citrus, white fruit, floral tones, and a slightly bitter grapefruit finish, highlighting its tension and structure.
This Champagne's slightly bitter finish makes it an excellent companion for food. It pairs well with culinary creations from renowned chefs, and specifically with dishes like "Garrotxa caviar" with pig's trotters, turnips, and chili.
Ideal for discovering new Champagne aromas, for enthusiasts of opulent and spicy Champagnes, and for special gastronomic experiences that celebrate innovation and adaptation.
