Ruinart Rose: best price for this award-winning Champagne from ‘a superstar in the making’: Decanter 96/100 points and ‘Best Non Vintage Champagnes to buy’ listing: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir: six bottles delivered
£436.00
Ruinart Rosé has arrived—and at an exclusive best price through CountryClubuk. Like a spring rose petal this wine has a remarkable golden-pink hue. It has beautifully delicate bubbles that caress the inside of the flute with undying finesse. The nose is fine, subtle, fresh and spring-like, evoking fragrances of red fruits, cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry and red berries. Their relatively young primary aromas present a wonderful bouquet.
Awarding 96/100 points, Tom Stevenson in Decanter, 96/100 notes in “The best non-vintage Champagnes to buy”, ‘Utterly delicious, totally fruit-driven and with surprising finesse, this is just the second Ruinart Brut Rosé cuvée produced by Fred Panaiotis, the young, highly talented new chef de caves. If he keeps this up, Ruinart, the oldest Champagne house, could be a superstar in the making.’
Awarding 93/100 points, Falstaff notes: ‘Light salmon pink, orange reflections; fine, persistent mousse. Nuances of fresh wild berries, underlaid with delicate tropical fruit, fine tobacco spices, a hint of orange zest and a mineral touch. Juicy, subtle cranberry and mint notes, fresh, well-structured, lemony-salty nuances, taut finish. A good companion at the table.’
Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 92/100: ‘Light 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.
Wine Advocate, 91/100: ‘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 2021-2031.’
Ruinart Rosé owes its elegance to the marriage of the maison’s signature grape Chardonnay (45% from Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims) and Pinot Noir (55% from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne), mostly sourced from Premiers Cru vineyards. The blend includes 20-25% of reserve wines and 18-19% of lightly extracted red wine, resulting in a sublimely fruity blend of an intense golden pink.
Case of 6 bottles, 75cl. RSP £480 plus delivery. CCUK £436 including UK mainland delivery.

To order, and for more details about the House of Ruinart, read on . . .
Although not the oldest wine estate in the region, Ruinart holds the title of the oldest established Champagne House. Nicolas Ruinart founded Champagne Ruinart in 1729. Famed for their affinity for the white-grape variety, Chardonnay dominates the blend in all of Ruinart’s finest cuvées, even their prestige rosé.
Favouring the reductive style, Ruinart use a pneumatic press to guard the juice against oxidation and deploy nitrogen gas to protect the wine at every production stage. They are also adverse to oak and vinify all their wines in stainless-steel tanks. Ruinart’s Crayeres were dug by hand—the deepest measuring 38 metres in height beneath the vault—and their numerous tunnels spread to more than eight kilometres.
