Drink it now or cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant. Officially founded in 1729, the Maison Ruinart is the oldest in the entire Champagne region. However, its history is much older and its origins date back to the seventeenth century when the Benedictine monk Dom Thierry Ruinart began to collaborate with the abbot Dom Perignon, from whom he learned the secrets of the Champenoise method. Champagne Rosé Second Skin is a new version, made with revolutionary packaging that follows the line of the bottle, it’s recyclable and comes from paper sourced from trees in eco-managed European forests. The eco-design is inspired by the Crayeres, Ruinart's wonderful UNESCO heritage limestone cellars. The wine is a blend of Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne and Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The two varieties are vinified in white separately. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Champenoise method, with aging on the lees for at least 48 months. This beautiful Champagne has a rosé color and light orange nuances. The bubbles are fine and persistent. On the nose, it reveals fresh and delicate aromas of small red fruits and notes of pomegranate. In the mouth, it is clean and refreshing but with good richness and fruity notes. The finish is persistent and recalls notes of pink grapefruit. Try it with salmon or rainbow trout. It also goes well with Italian ham or shellfish.
