Ruinart - Brut Rose Champagne NV (375ml HALF BOTTLE)
Ruinart Description
On the palate the attack is distinctive and full, cradled by a gentle effervescence. The balance brings together delightful freshness and a voluptuous body. An elegant burst of peppermint and pink grapefruit rounds out this cheeky palette of aromas.
The nose offers intense notes of exotic fruits (pomegranate, lychee and guava) that develop alongside soft floral essences (rose) and notes of freshly picked red fruits (cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry). These aromas splendidly showcase the wine’s subtle, spicy notes (tonka bean and nutmeg).
Food Pairing
Ruinart Rosé is a delight to drink throughout a meal from aperitif to dessert.
It makes an excellent complement to fine Italian prosciutto (thinly sliced San Daniele or Parma). A starter of salmon, served mi-cuit or as Japanese style tataki, will bring out the many facets of this champagne.
It also pairs well with an exotic main course. An Andalusian gazpacho will awaken its freshness and vivacity; fillet of duck breast cooked rare and served with cranberries will accentuate its harmonious complexity.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Sleek and minerally, this is satiny on the palate, with racy drive to the flavors of macerated raspberry, pomegranate puree, almond financier and pickled ginger. A zesty hint of blood orange granita lingers on the finish. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Very attractive, bright and fragrant red fruits on the nose here. This has a wealth of fresh yeasty characters, fresh pastry and bread dough, plus red fruits, pink grapefruit, and some floral notes too. The palate has a strong nectarine and light cherry flavor thread. Chardonnay has a lot to say here; the texture is creamy and the balance right on the money.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The latest rendition of Ruinart’s NV Brut Rosé evokes aromas of blood orange, red berries, flowers and pastry. Medium to full-bodied, round and supple, it’s elegant with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a long, delicate finish. There’s no reason to wait.
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
Like all the current bottlings of Ruinart, this Champagne has a fine balance between fine fruit and maturity. This wine has toast, touches of red fruits and citrus. It is ready to drink.
