Jeb Dunnuck Tasting Note

From a late ripening season, the 2013 Champagne Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut is a wine that’s going to harken to the past. It’s expressive in the glass, offering up aromas of custard, white flowers, pastry, grapefruit, and pear. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, with a rounded mid-palate and a lovely, elegant texture with a lot of refinement. It has a razor edge in its persistent drive on the palate, so it’s going to take time to soften and round out, but it’s a very impressive wine for this vintage. Disgorged in February of 2023.

About the Producer

The Champagne Ruinart estate, an illustrious house founded in 1729, is a historic name in the Champagne region. The visionary intuition of Dom Thierry Ruinart found concrete incarnation thanks to his nephew Nicolas, who made quality and refinement the pillars of the house. Anchored in the heart of Champagne, Ruinart has traversed the centuries by cultivating a tradition of excellence, becoming an essential benchmark. Subsequent generations have perpetuated this legacy, always placing high standards at the center of their champagne production. The house offers a range of prestigious cuvées, including the famous Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, a pure Chardonnay of great finesse and rare elegance. Also featured is the Dom Ruinart Rosé, a delicate blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vinified as red wine, as well as the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut, an emblematic expression of the house's savoir-faire. An anecdote tells that Ruinart was among the first houses to export its wines in bottles, breaking with the tradition of transporting them in barrels. The "R de Ruinart" Brut completes this range, offering an accessible and consistently elegant interpretation of the Ruinart style.
