Champagne Ruinart, Rosé, Brut

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.Raspberries and white pepper. Quite sweet – there is something that evokes a long-distant memory of strawberry jelly babies. Pretty fruit and a good, broad swathe of ripe acidity, but lacks the complexity and stature I'd expect of a champagne in this price bracket. It might taste better with a slice of strawberry tart?

Dosage: 8g/LA blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay, and featuring around 25% reserve wines, this is 100% premier cru fruit from the Montagne des Reims and Côte des Blancs. Almost a third of the Pinot Noir was vinified as a still wine. A deep coral colour, this is fresh and youthful, with rounded wild red berry fruit, and a hint of rose. With some time in the glass, it develops deeper, more complex, more exotic notes, leading to a long and lively finish.Drink 2021 - 2026Amy Wislocki, Decanter.com (January 2021)

55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay; 9 g/l dosage; LAH9VLight orange. Sharply focused red berry and tangerine scents are complicated by suggestions of allspice and cinnamon, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and minerally on the palate, offering fresh strawberry and blood orange flavours lifted by juicy acidity. It packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight and finishes stony and very long, with an echoing red berry character.josh_raynolds, Vinous.com.com (January 2015)

The latest rendition of Ruinart's NV Brut Rosé is a lovely, vibrant wine that offers inviting aromas of tangerine, blood orange, plum and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and precise, tangy acids and a lovely mousse, it's a ca-harming, comparatively vinous wine already showing well.Drink 2021 - 2031William Kelley, Wine Advocate (September 2021)

An enticing properly dry rosé with a slew of red berry aromas, including wild strawberries, but behind this is the structure of a serious Chardonnay from the chalky soils of this region and it is the chalky texture that anchors this on the long finish.Drink nowStuart Pigott, Senior Editor for jamessuckling_com (August 2023)

The NV Brut Rose is a pretty, understated wine graced with notable class and finesse. This is a decidedly feminine, delicate style best suited to drinking as an aperitif. Sweet berries, flowers and spices are layered into the refined, well-articulated finish. This is Lot LAGJUA4. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.antonio_galloni - 31/10/2011
