James Suckling 93
A very appealing and satisfying style that fully captures the elegance and poise of chardonnay. The aromas here are all based around lemons, grapefruit, honey, fresh floral notes, stone fruits and toasty autolysis which is somewhat of a signature for this Champagne. The palate delivers a ripe, flavorsome impression of peach custard and lemon crme brle. The acidity is nicely placed and the the finish upbeat with vibrant fruit expression.

Wine Spectator 92
Smoky mineral and spice accents meet creamy layers of poached white peach and lemon meringue pie in this bright and creamy blanc de blancs Champagne. Harmonious, with a long, aromatic finish of acacia blossom and honey. Drink now through 2022.

Wine Enthusiast 92
Ruinart is a Chardonnay house, so this wine can be considered one of its signature cuves. With some bottle age, it is crisp while also toasty with secondary flavors that are balancing the apple and citrus fruits. The wine is well balanced, the soft aftertaste still in keeping with its crisper, textured flavors.

Wine Advocate 90
This is a fabulous version of Ruinarts NV Brut Blanc de Blancs. The wine seems fresher, more vibrant and less obviously sweet than in the past, all of which makes this a far more interesting wine. The trademark profile of lemon, jasmine and green apples is very much in the forefront while the wines textural finesse and length are both first-class. This release of the NV Brut makes a great introduction to the wines of Ruinart, Champagnes oldest house.

"The wine shows a superb, golden yellow colour with a beautiful luminosity and a fine and persistent mousse. The nose is clean and intense with warm, rich notes of brioche, French toast and roasted almonds. On the palate the wine is very supple and harmonious, with notes of honey and minerals on the long, sustained finish." ~Winery Notes
