Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2013 (GiftBox) is the prestige vintage expression of Maison Ruinart, crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, mainly from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims.

The 2013 vintage is defined by a cool, late-ripening growing season, resulting in grapes with high natural acidity, slow maturation, and exceptional aromatic precision. This creates a Champagne style that is linear, tense, and highly mineral-driven rather than rich or opulent.

A key signature of this cuvée is its extended ageing of approximately 9 years on lees, combined with vinification and maturation under cork (sous liège), which enhances texture, depth, and toasty complexity while preserving Chardonnay purity.

Tasting Notes

Colour
Bright golden hue with subtle green reflections, showing clarity, energy, and youthful vibrancy despite extended ageing.

Nose
Highly expressive and layered, opening with toasted brioche, roasted almond, and dried wheat, followed by citrus zest, lemon peel, and white floral notes. Chalky minerality and subtle smoky nuances add depth and refinement.

Palate
Precise, chiseled, and vertical in structure. The palate is driven by citrus, green apple, and stone fruits, supported by a strong chalky backbone. The texture is clean and focused, with energy and tension rather than richness.

Finish
Long, dry, and mineral-driven, with saline freshness, citrus persistence, and a refined toasty echo.
