Ruinart : Second Skin R de Ruinart

A superbly balanced Champagne wine in an sustainable envelope

The estate

Ruinart, the first Champagne House founded in 1729, is located in the heart of Reims. Elegance, style and timelessness are part of the Ruinart Champagne House’s very DNA. Regarded as one of the most valued brands in France, Ruinart embodies the excellence of the French ‘’art de vivre’’ in all four corners of the world.

The wine

Following over two years of research and development, the Ruinart Champagne House unveils its new case: Ruinart Second Skin. An sustainable alternative to boxes, Ruinart’s Second Skin is a 100% paper envelope, entirely recyclable and molded to the shape of the bottle. This Second Skin, whose colour and texture are inspired by the House's historical chalk quarries, enhances the curves of the bottle. Driven by the desire to pursue their activism towards improving tomorrow’s environmental challenges, the Ruinart Champagne House has successfully combined aestheticism, authenticity and responsibility.

The blend

Pinot Noir (60%)
Chardonnay (40%).
R de Ruinart perfectly epitomises the house: pure, refined and with a recognizable and incomparable bottle design.
