Frédéric Panaïotis is one of the most articular Chef de Caves in Champagne. Since taking over in 2007, Panaïotis has produced a string of stellar Champagnes, including the 2010 Dom Ruinart, which I was able to revisit for this report. Readers will also want to check out the new Blanc Singulier, 100% Chardonnay bottled with no dosage meant to reflect the nature of Champagne today in the climate change era.

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.
