Blend and Origin
R de Ruinart 2010
2010 saw a dry spring, with summer coming early. Heavy rains slowed the maturity of the grapes across some of Ruinart’s vineyards; however, the chardonnay (55%) and pinot noir (45%) for this champagne – from grand cru and premier cru plots in Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims – did very well. If left to age further, it will delight lovers of mature champagnes.
This product can only be purchased by persons over 18 years of age.
Food pairing:
Pair with rich and creamy dishes
Starter
Begin with a cod fillet alongside a rich butternut squash gratin – an ideal complement to the champagne’s fruity notes.
Main
For a main course, try quail, braised and served with a creamy chanterelle sauce.
