Despite its history as Champagne's oldest house, Ruinart does not enjoy the same profile as some of its neighbors. That may start to change with the 2007 Dom Ruinart, which is one of the most ambitious young Champagnes I have ever tasted here. It will be interesting to see if the 2007, which is more focused than Dom Ruinart has been in the past, signals a stylistic shift, or it is more a product of the vintage. What is obvious is that Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaïotis made a brilliant Champagne in his first full year at the helm. This year, Ruinart also releases a new flagship wine, the 1998 Dom Ruinart La Reserve, which was aged on the cork as opposed on crown cap. Panaïotis is so pleased with how the 1998 turned out that he shifted the entirety of the production of Dom Ruinart to aging on the cork starting with the 2010 vintage. Going forward, there will be two releases of Dom Ruinart, the original release and La Reserve, the same wine with longer aging on the lees, which will be sold after about 25 years.

Ruinart is Champagne's oldest house, with a history that dates back to 1729. The wines are quite well-known around the world, but less so in the US, where the estate is making an effort to re-establish its presence. Today the wines are made under the guidance of Chef de Caves Frederic Panaïotis who clearly has an outsize passion for these Champagnes as well as the house's rich heritage. Although Ruinart is best known for their vintage Blanc de Blancs, the Rosé is perhaps even more fascinating, particularly after a few years in bottle, which in important vintages allows for the Pinot Noir to speak with great eloquence. The Ruinart wines tend to be medium in body and are made with levels of dosage that are closer to the high end of the spectrum. Although the back labels show codes which can be tracked to disgorgement dates, it would be nice to see Ruinart provide disgorgement dates for its wines.
