Ruinart

Renowned around the world as the oldest established Champagne house, Ruinart was founded in 1729 by entrepreneur Nicolas Ruinart. Ruinart was inspired by the ambitions of his uncle and Benedict monk, Dom Theirry Ruinart, to build one of the finest Champagne houses in the city of Reims. Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart in 1729, and the first bottle of Ruinart Champagne was released in 1730 - offered as a "wine with bubbles". The brand has grown into its own, becoming a leader in superior cuvees, featuring both Brut non-vintages and vintage wines - the latter containing a minimum of 40% Chardonnay and 60% Pinot Noir varietals. Famous not only for its Champagne, Ruinart also boasts some of the largest wine cellars in the region - chalk-mined and buried 38 meters below ground. A legacy built on quality, vision, and sophisticated aging, the House of Ruinart is a historic brand that encapsulates some of the finest Champagnes in the world!
