THIS VINTAGE CHAMPAGNE OWES ITS RARITY TO ITS SELECTION OF GRANDS CRUS: 80% CHARDONNAY ALONG WITH 20% PINOT NOIR VINIFIED AS A RED WINE.

Dom Ruinart Rosé 2002 presents a deep coral hue with delicate coppery highlights. Its effervescence is fine and persistent.

The richness of the 2002 vintage defines a palate with remarkable breadth and volume. It reveals a beautiful aromatic palette, characterized by fruity, floral, and spicy notes. The Chardonnay defines the attack, which is at once coated, precise, and delicate. The finish, beautifully structured and with contained power, allows the Pinot Noir to express itself with a fine bitterness underscored by the low dosage.

Further long-term aging will allow it to join the greatest vintages of Dom Ruinart Rosé, such as 1996, 1990, 1988, or the legendary 1976.

Maison Ruinart, established in the heart of Champagne, is renowned for being the oldest champagne house. Its history finds its origins in the figure of Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk and contemporary of Louis XIV, who perceptively recognized the exceptional potential of Champagne wine as early as the end of the 17th century.
It was not until his nephew, Nicolas Ruinart, that his uncle’s and father’s ambition was realized. On September 1, 1729, Nicolas Ruinart officially founded Maison Ruinart, taking advantage of a royal edict authorizing the transport of Champagne wine in bottles. The first bottles were thus shipped to former clients—cloth merchants—prioritizing ports and departing ships. The success was such that by 1735, Maison Ruinart dedicated itself exclusively to the production of champagne. Over the centuries, Nicolas Ruinart’s heirs have perpetuated Dom Thierry’s vision, placing quality, authenticity, and refinement at the heart of their production. In 1959, the Dom Ruinart cuvée was created in tribute to the House’s inspiration.
