Founded in 1729, Ruinart, the oldest champagne House was created from the foresight of a visionary monk, Dom Thierry Ruinart, who was one of the first to envision and truly understand the brilliant future of champagne. Now established as the “Chardonnay expert”, the house uses this pure, elegant grape in all Ruinart cuvees, providing the very essence of the wines’ taste and bouquet.
