Ruinart (champagne)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ruinart is one of the oldest Champagne houses, exclusively producing champagne since 1729. Founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the Champagne region in the city of Reims, the house is today owned by the parent company LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA. Ruinart's uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, for whom the house's flagship wine is named, was a close friend of Dom Pérignon. Dom Ruinart is a blanc de blancs, i.e. made entirely of Chardonnay. [1]
