Product Description
A benchmark prestige Blanc de Blancs, Dom Ruinart 2010 combines razor-sharp mineral precision with layered, lees-driven depth. Backed by a standout 98-point Vinous score, this is a collector-grade Champagne with both immediate brilliance and long-term aging potential. Focused, elegant, and quietly powerful.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced by Ruinart, the oldest Champagne house (est. 1729), Dom Ruinart is its flagship vintage cuvée. The 2010 is crafted exclusively from Grand Cru Chardonnay, primarily from the Côte des Blancs (Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Avize, Chouilly, Cramant), with additional parcels from the Montagne de Reims.
Extended aging on lees—approaching a decade—builds fine mousse, texture, and complexity, while low Extra Brut dosage preserves tension and purity. A defining detail is partial cork aging during maturation, which enhances structure and adds subtle breadth without sacrificing the wine’s hallmark precision.
This is a Blanc de Blancs built on chalk, structure, and time, rather than overt richness.
