Where the grapes grow and how the wine turns pink

The Chardonnay comes from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. The Pinot Noir comes from the Montagne de Reims and the Vallée de la Marne. Of the Montagne de Reims plantings, about 41% are Pinot Noir, 33% Pinot Meunier and 26% Chardonnay.

The colour comes from the Pinot Noir: 43% of the blend is Pinot Noir vinified as white wine, and 12% is Pinot Noir vinified as red wine and added to the blend. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats and put through malolactic fermentation.

Ruinart, founded in Reims in 1729

Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of the house in Reims on 1 September 1729. It shipped the first rosé champagne across Europe in 1764. In 1768 it became the first Champagne house to move to the Saint-Nicaise hill, where it bought land and former chalk quarries.

The Ruinart crayères under Reims

The chalk cellars, called crayères, were dug by hand. They run for more than 8 km on three levels, and the highest chamber measures 38 m. The cellars have been a protected historic monument since 1931. Cellars in the Reims chalk keep a temperature of 10 to 12 °C, the setting where this rosé spends its 2 to 3 years of ageing.
