{"title":"Ruinart","description":"Although Ruinart has the honor of being France’s oldest established Champagne house, it has often been called the “best Champagne you’ve never heard of.”  Less than 50 acres, Ruinart was founded by Nicolas Ruinart, a textile entrepreneur, in 1728, and has been exclusively producing Champagne since 1729. First used as gifts for his business clients, the wine was so successful that six years later, Ruinart abandonedcloth for grapes, and focused exclusively on the production of Champagne.\r\nCenturies later, Ruinartfelt the impact of 20th century global catastrophes, notably two World Wars. For all its past success, the mid-1940s dealt the House a major blow, leaving it with only 800 cases in its cellar and a total of two Parisian customers.  After its acquisition by France’s luxury LVMH Group, the brand reinvented itself, becoming less dependent on the French market. The investment paid off; deliberately steering clear of the more large-scale, highly commercial markets, Ruinart has once again become a favorite among discerning oenophiles through its presence across sophisticated restaurants and specialty shops.  \r\nRuinart is known for its prestige cuvées, with its signature, Chardonnay-only “Blanc de blancs” Dom Ruinart which first appeared in 1959. Dom Ruinart Rosé followed three years later with its distinctive addition of 16% Pinot Noir. The House also produces cuvée R de Ruinartin both Brut non-vintage and vintage. Ruinartwines are aged in ancient, historic chalk pits first built by the Romans, impacting their unique character and ethereal quality.

Hints of lees autolysis and heliotrope perfume cap a nose in which very ripe sickle pear predominates. Happily, an efficacious squirt of fresh lime lends refreshing and vivacious acidity to the pear on a lush and gently effervescent palate. Pungently struck-flint and iodine-like notes as well as hints of lightly toasted almond and hazelnut add allure to a generously fruity finish. This might well reward a couple of years bottle age, though its highly appealing present personality is very much tied up with freshness.","brand":"wwus-dev","offers":[{"title":"2002 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402726178971,"sku":"116079820020600750","price":1325.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2006 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402726211739,"sku":"116079820060600750","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 6x750ml","offer_id":35402726244507,"sku":"116079820070600750","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2007 \/ 12x750ml","offer_id":35402726277275,"sku":"116079820071200750","price":2400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0454\/4108\/9691\/products\/Bottle-Ruinart_20-_20Dom_20Ruinart_20-_20NA_20-_20Champagne_20-_20White_20-_20Label_20-_201160798_26406f50-7624-4ab7-ae65-ebaf047c4ead.png?v=1596888549"},{"product_id":"france-champagne-na-dom-ruinart-rose","title":"Ruinart, Dom Ruinart Rose","description":"Disgorged in June 2014 with 5.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2002 Dom Ruinart Rosé includes 20% red Pinot Noir from Sillery and Verzenay. Unfurling in the glass with aromas of brioche, mirabelle plum, dried orange rind and fresh pastry, it's full-bodied, broad and gourmand, with a creamy mousse, delicate phenolic grip and excellent balance.
