Dom Ruinart 2010-Stemming from the Champagne region’s finest terroirs and produced exclusively following fruitful harvests, Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs champagne, which has only declared 27 vintages, highlights the aromatic richness of the Chardonnay grape variety, the Ruinart House’s iconic grape variety. The cool weather during spring delayed the flowering period and the vegetative cycle. Although the beginning of the summer season was very mild, the weather shifted in mid-August with heavy rainfall followed by high temperatures combined with a high humidity. These conditions led to the rapid development of Botrytis cinerea, a fungus which mainly affected the Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier grapes but not the Chardonnay grapes. The pleasant conditions throughout September were ideal and helped to refine the ripeness levels of the grapes up until the harvest, which began on September 15th. The grapes reveal a rare richness and balance.
