Releasing a Dom Ruinart vintage is a rare opportunity to celebrate the imprint of a year through a great Blanc de Blancs. This 2010 vintage also marks a turning point. In the 1990s, my predecessors tried to push the ageing of the wine further to unlock more layers. They had the idea of bringing back cork during the ageing process. An intuition that has been validated over the years and during our tastings. In 2010, we decided to replace crown caps with cork for Dom Ruinart, enabling us to age these precious bottles on lees for longer. I m delighted to present the finished result and share the enthusiasm felt by everyone at Ruinart. Dom Ruinart 2010 celebrates the talent and savoir-faire of the people at the heart of each bottle. I can t wait to share it with you. Because it takes time, vision, and a little audacity for us to produce great vintages.
