Visually, the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs has a brilliant robe with a beautiful pale yellow color and slight hints of almond green and jade green reflections. The first nose reveals intense aromas of fresh fruit: ripe lemon, juicy pear, or freshly picked peach. The secondary aromas are more floral with hints of white flowers, accompanied by a spicy touch combining ginger and pink peppercorns. Balancing tension with roundness, the enveloping structure is highlighted by fresh aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. With a long and delicate finale.
Vinous
- v93
The 1988 Blanc de Blancs Brut Vintage from Ruinart is now fully mature on the nose. Initially, it is quite resinous and lacks the delineation of the 1988 Krug, though it meliorates with aeration, developing intriguing lemon curd, candle wax and light marzipan scents. The palate is pretty and elegant, built around a keen line of acidity and a precise mandarin and lemon verbena finish. There is a delicacy about this Ruinart that is very appealing. Tasted at the 1988 Bordeaux dinner at Noble Rot Mayfair.
