Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2002: a 96-point Champagne

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2002 is the prestige cuvée of Ruinart, founded in Reims in 1729 and regarded as the oldest established Champagne house. Robert Parker Wine Advocate rated the 2002 at 96 out of 100 in September 2025 (Kristaps Karklins) and gives a drinking window from 2025 to 2035 — more than twenty years after the harvest, the wine is at its best now.

A blanc de blancs from the house of Reims

Blanc de blancs means the wine is made only from white grapes: here 100% Chardonnay. The cuvée is named after Dom Thierry Ruinart, the Benedictine monk whose nephew Nicolas founded the house. Ruinart is based in Reims, where its chalk cellars hold the wines during their long ageing before release. Part of our Champagne selection, it carries the AOC Champagne designation and is a brut, a dry style.

2002, one of the great Champagne vintages

On the Robert Parker Wine Advocate vintage chart, Champagne 2002 scores 95 and is marked ready to drink. Vintage Champagne is only declared in the best years, and 2002 is among the most celebrated of the early 2000s: ripe, balanced and built to age, which explains why its prestige cuvées are still sought after today.

Serving

Serve at 10–12 °C rather than ice-cold, in a white-wine glass instead of a narrow flute. A mature blanc de blancs of this level suits seafood, poultry with cream sauces and aged Comté, or simply an aperitif without food.
