Product Overview
The non-vintage Ruinart Brut Rosé is the very first rosé to make it's appearance, dating back to the middle of the 18th century. The color is a delicate pomegranate pink with very slight orange reflections. The sparkling, light effervescence has a persistent foam. The nose is subtle and fresh, first offering an original palette of tropical fruits (guava and lychee) and small berries (raspberries, cherries, and wild strawberries) in the first instance. These are followed by rose and pomegranate notes which complete the complex, intense aromatic profile. On the palate, the attack is distinct and full, cradled by a gentle effervescence. The aromas of freshly picked berries are fully expressed in the flavors. The balance brings together a delightful freshness and voluptuous body, expressed by an elegant bracing touch of mint and pink grapefruit.

94 Points - Wine Spectator
"A classy rosé that glides across the palate, with flavors of raspberry coulis, yellow peach, chamomile and blanched almond that expand on the creamy mousse and linger on the lightly spiced finish, powered by mouthwatering acidity. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2026." -AN, 2021

"(55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay; 9 g/l dosage; LAH9V): Light orange. Sharply focused red berry and tangerine scents are complicated by suggestions of allspice and cinnamon, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and minerally on the palate, offering fresh strawberry and blood orange flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight and finishes stony and very long, with echoing red berry character." -JR, Jan/2015
90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"In the generous style that is Ruinart, the wine is full with red fruits that are mouthfilling and rich. At the same time, there is a crisp streak of mineral texture that cuts through the wine to give a bright aftertaste. Drink this beautifully balanced Champagne now." -RV, 12/1/20
