Note di degustazione
The 2013 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is another triumph from the late Frédéric Panaïotis. Disgorged in July 2023 after nine years sur lattes, with a dosage of 5.5 grams per liter—slightly higher than previous releases, tempering the brisk acidity of this cool, slow-ripening vintage—it wafts from the glass with deep aromas of fresh hazelnut, nashi pear, orange, hyacinth and bread dough, alongside the hint of Sichuan pepper and a subtle smoky note that only enhances its gently reductive, toasty signature. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and chiseled, combining crystalline purity with vinosity, enlivened by a pillowy mousse and bright structuring acids, concluding with a precise, chalky finish. Expect a structurally more tightly wound version compared to the demonstrative 2009.

Oyster-shell nose, lemon and green apple, a touch of smoke and toffee on the finish. Lingering savoury mushroom and river-pebble character – this is channelling good white burgundy, and has a few more years to go before entering its peak period. (RH)
100% Chardonnay. Dating back to 1729, Ruinart is the oldest ‘house’ in Champagne. 70% Côte des Blancs, 30% Montagne de Reims. Aged in vat, with malolactic conversion, aged a minimum 9 years on the lees. Dosage 5.5 g/l. Wonderfully complex vintage Blanc de Blancs with complex biscuity notes. Zesty citrus, notable acidity. Concentrated and very fine. (AWH)
From a late ripening season, the 2013 Champagne Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut is a wine that’s going to harken to the past. It’s expressive in the glass, offering up aromas of custard, white flowers, pastry, grapefruit, and pear. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied, with a rounded mid-palate and a lovely, elegant texture with a lot of refinement. It has a razor edge in its persistent drive on the palate, so it’s going to take time to soften and round out, but it’s a very impressive wine for this vintage. Disgorged in February of 2023.
