HOW TO ENJOY
HOW TO ENJOY
Appearance: An intense golden yellow with light greenish hues and a fine and persistent effervescence.
Aroma: After an initial floral and mineral hit, spicy and toasted notes of nutmeg, roasted hazelnuts and almonds dominate, along with zesty aromas of ripe citrus fruit.
Taste: Rich in taste with aromatic intensity – fig leaf flavours mingle with notes of black tea and spices, leading to a complex mouthfeel and a fresh finish enhanced by an elegant bitterness.
Strong flavours and an intense freshness allow for plenty of food pairing possibilities – from rich meat dishes and fresh fish plates to hearty vegetarian recipes. Serve it alongside rare breed pork fillet with Jerusalem artichoke, lovage oil and toasted chestnut shavings; smoked lobster with daikon petals and a creamy sauce with wakame seaweed and lemon zest; and leek in different textures (charred, fried and mashed) with a potato and truffle sabayon.
Reims, Champagne France. The House of Ruinart was founded on September 1, 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. His uncle, a learned Benedictine monk called Dom Thierry Ruinart had incredible insight. He foretold that this new “wine with bubbles”, developed in his native region of Champagne and which the royal courts of Europe adored, was destined for a bright future.
