Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010 Champagne Case 6 x 75cl
Dom Ruinart 2010 Vintage Champagne is inspired by Dom Thierry Ruinart, founder of the house. The 2010 vintage is made from the finest Chardonnay Grand Crus: 90% from the Côte des Blancs and 10% from the northern slopes of the Montagne de Reims.
Allowing the wine to breathe reveals a rich base, with notes of fresh fig tree leaf aromas mingling with notes of black tea and fresh spices. The flavours develop and grow in layers leading to a complex mouthfeel, continuing to a fresh finish enhanced by an elegant bitterness. The 2010 vintage has a seductive feel and is a grand chardonnay wine.
“It takes time, vision, and a little audacity for us to produce a great vintage. This 2010 vintage marks a turning point. It celebrates the imprint of a year through a great Blanc de Blancs now aged under cork.” Frédéric Panaïotis, Cellar Master
Dom Ruinart 2010 Vintage has very good ageing potential. Cellar up to 10 years and longer depending on storage conditions.

I try to avoid the tired clichés that make comparisons with Burgundy, but it is impossible here. The best way I can describe the 2010 Dom Ruinart is that it tastes like a great Corton-Charlemagne with bubbles. Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaiotis has poured his heart and soul into Ruinart since arriving in 2007. He richly deserves all the accolades he will surely garner for this masterpiece, an achievement that is made all the more notable by the challenges of the growing season. The 2010 Dom Ruinart is unreal. That’s all there is to it."

"Really deep flavoured. Very obviously more depth of flavour and tension than the 2009 Dom Ruinart. The cork ageing does seem to enhance the savoury, reduced character reminiscent of white burgundy. Very long with lemon notes. A truly exciting wine that is still extremely youthful."
