Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs
“Releasing a Dom Ruinart cuvée is a rare opportunity to discover the imprint of a year in a great Blanc de Blancs. 2013 was marked by a very late harvest bringing more freshness and toasty aromas enhanced by ageing under cork.”
Frédéric Panaïotis, Ruinart Cellar Master.
The year 2013 stands out as a year unlikely to be seen again soon. It was characterised by a winter and especially a spring that was both rainy and cool. Despite no spring frost damage, the temperature in the first six months was the lowest recorded in 20 years.
This climate slows down the vegetative cycle, delaying the harvest until the end of September. This late ripening of the grapes reveals a unique balance, specific to the climatic conditions of the year, promising wines of great finesse.
