"Ruinart Blanc de Blancs includes some 25–30 different chardonnay crus, predominantly from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Sézannais and La Vallée de la Vesle. They reflect the rich diversity of the Champagne terroir. a brilliant robe with a beautiful pale yellow color and slight hints of almond green and jade green reflections. The first nose reveals intense aromas of fresh fruit: ripe lemon, juicy pear, or freshly picked peach. The secondary aromas are more floral with hints of white flowers, accompanied by a spicy touch combining ginger and pink peppercorns. Balancing tension with roundness, the enveloping structure is highlighted by fresh aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. With a long and delicate finale." - House Notes
"This is very fresh, harmonious wine with a silky texture and perfect for the hot summer in Queensland! Soft honeysuckle and white jasmine nose, flavours of golden delicious apple, light pineapple, honey-dew melon, lemon rind and pear, followed by a layer of French toast with creamy-honey. There is an edging of roasted macadamia nuts, some lemon rind and hints of salty sea bush. A very refreshing delicious champagne!" - Bernadette O'Shea, Champagne Consultant
"The vibrant yellow green colour is on full display in the clear glass bottle, but it needs to be protected from light. Perhaps complaining at this price is churlish, for the wine rides on the wings of flowery, lemon blossom aromas and an almost razor-sharp linearity to the wonderfully long palate leaving the mouth fresh, thirsting for more." - 95 Points, James Halliday Wine Companion
