Region and producer : Champagne, France, produced by Maison Ruinart

Grape varieties : 40% Chardonnay, 40-45% Pinot Noir, 10-15% Pinot Meunier

Tasting notes :

• Dress : Golden yellow and shimmering.
• Nose : Initially fruity with notes of Reinette apple, apricot, hazelnut and fresh almond, complemented by floral touches of elderflower and coriander seeds. Aromas of brioche and biscuit then emerge.
• Palate : Sweet flavors of yellow fruits, plum tart, and ripe stone fruits. The texture is round, harmonious, and persistent, with a finish that reveals the freshness of the Chardonnay.

Food and drink pairings : Perfect as an aperitif, this champagne pairs well with vegetable dishes or cheeses. A recipe suggestion is a seasonal vegetable tart with goat cheese.

Aged in the cellars for 2 to 3 years, it has a dosage of 7g/L, reflecting Maison Ruinart's commitment to sustainability and innovation with its eco-designed and 100% recyclable "second skin" case, which reduces its carbon footprint by 60% compared to the previous box.
