Dom Ruinart 2007 vintage is certainly an exceptional glass and one of the very few recent vintages in Champagne when the harvest began in August.. The blend is 100% Chardonnay exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards: 75% from the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Le Mesnil, Oger and Avize) and 25% from the northern slopes of Montagne de Reims (predominantly Sillery and Verzenay).
Its typical style is one of exhilarating stony liveliness that comes from fantastic Chardonnay; intense, pure and structured. The hint of c halk, flint and oyster shells is prominent and a touch of lingering smoke, fantastic.
