RUINART
Faced with climate change, Ruinart’s Blanc Singulier
vintage reflects the Maison’s capacity for innovation
while maintaining the highest standards of excellence
for its champagnes. It all starts in the vineyard. Ruinart
has observed the climate changes affecting its wines
warmer winters early springs April frosts everrising
average temperatures and earlier grape harvests Cellar
Master Frédéric Panaïotis and his teams have noticed new
aromatic profiles emerging as a result of these changing
climate conditions Now Ruinart has crafted
Blanc Singulier harnessing these distinctive
profiles by adapting its expertise and wine
making practices while preserving the
Maison’s signature taste. The first vintage to be released
is Edition 18, which was shaped by the climate variations
experienced by vineyards in 2018 – a particularly warm
year marked by an early harvest. The year’s wines feature
juicy white fruit and candied citrus notes as well as floral
honey scents and smoked spices Ruinarts Blanc Singulier
is a collection of successive singular editions with each one
the product of a year of extraordinary climate conditions
