Innovation means defining new codes in line with our times and environmental challenges, which concern Ruinart across all its activities.

In 2020, Ruinart revolutionised its packaging with the new second skin case, which now envelops all its bottles. This sustainable innovation required two years of research and development. Today, it is a matter of course. Whereas yesterday a prestigious gift box made sense, this light, elegant case made of recyclable cellulose fibres now represents a new standard for a conscious art of gifting.

Dom Ruinart s chalk wrap offers a new interpretation of this innovation. Velvety soft to the touch like chalk, it transforms this exceptional bottle into a sculptural object. The gentle reliefs and crevices crisscross, as if carved directly into chalky rock. It evokes the unbreakable link between Dom Ruinart and the chalk, from the growing of the vine on chalky soils, to the time when the vintage is aged in chalk cellars. It illustrate savoir-faire and respect for nature.

As the finishing touch, a hand-applied gold marking enhances its exceptional character. The discreetly engraved 1729 on the fastening button proclaims the heritage of Maison Ruinart, the world s first champagne house.

AUDACITY AND ELEGANCE TO PROTECT NATURE
