Shaped by rising temperatures in Champagne and the acceleration of the vine's growing cycle, Chardonnay now reveals more expressive aromatic profiles, with enhanced fruit and spice notes. The third chapter in the 2018–2019–2020 trilogy, this edition is defined by a mild winter, an exceptionally sunny spring, and a summer of record-breaking drought, with temperatures exceeding 40°C, leading to an early harvest beginning in August.
To preserve the aromatic freshness that defines the House's cuvées while revealing Chardonnay's singular expression, revealed by a changing climate, the Maison unveils Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 20. Crafted exclusively from Chardonnay, this cuvée embodies the Maison's ability to adapt its winemaking expertise to the new challenges posed by a changing climate.
The result of centuries-old savoir-faire and a commitment to more sustainable viticulture that (re)connects with the land, Maison Ruinart seeks to pair its cuvées with dishes crafted by chefs who share these same values such as Nadia Sammut (Le goût du bonheur*), Arnaud Donckele (Le Tout-Paris*) et Tom Mayer (la Chèvre d’Or**).
