Awarded 97/100 Points by Tom Hewson:
"Dom Ruinart 2013 is a blanc de blancs of lithe, satin-smooth beauty already upon release, very much built around the reserved, cool energy of the 2013 vintage. This cuvée's new aromatic range, amplified since the 2010 release by toasty, spicy energy brought on by bottle fermentation under cork (sous liège), is very much at play. However, with undertones of roasting coffee, honey and fresh walnut playing with smoky gunflint and nougat richness as the gentle lemon, lime and even tropical fruit eases out with time in the glass. It's narrow rather than austere, gently sea-salt- savoury rather than lip-smackingly mineral or chalky - a Dom Ruinart with a long, long life ahead, but an equally rewarding window already opening up. Chardonnay from Le Mesnil, Avize, Chouilly, Bergères-les-Vertus, Sillery, Verzenay and Taissy, disgorged after nine years on lees.”

The 2013 growing season proved to be a much-welcomed reminder of glorious late vintages of the past. An extremely rainy and grey Spring followed a cold, wet Winter. Fortunately, the hot and dry Summer was one of the sunniest on record in the Champagne region and proved very beneficial for the quality of the grapes. Maturity at harvest was very good, the Chardonnays combined notes of white flowers with citrus and hints of tropical fruits from the later September sunshine.
On the nose, there is a complex array of aromas that offer an exceptional freshness. There are toasty notes that present hints of dried fruits such as almond and ripe wheat, with pastry undertones. On the palate, the Champagne is fresh and well-structured, with citrus aromas and spicy fragrances extending the wine's finish.
