Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs 2007 75cl

2007 is an extraordinary vintage and one of the few years in Champagne County when the harvest began in August. After a sunny and very warm spring, June, July and august brought sombre weather and heavy rains. However, cool temperatures did not prevent the early and rapid development of vines, and the grapes quickly reached full maturity. The wine is made from one hundred percent Chardonnay grapes grown on Grand Cru plantations. The taste, which opens smoothly on the palate, quickly achieves excitement, mineral vivacity and deep intensity, sent in by notes of green citrus and grapefruit. The herb and a little chalk finish is framed by an elegant bitter taste. Dom Ruinart 2007 is a dynamic wine with distinct characteristics that expresses the full purity of noble Chardonnay. As a starter, Dom Ruinart fits perfectly with millefeuille scallop carpaccio and mussels in a mellow first press of olive oil and green citrus marinade. With its elegance and texture, it is the perfect companion for Steamed Cod in Champagne.
