“This cuvée bears the hallmark of Ruinart’s signature fresh, aromatic chardonnay. Time allows her to take on even greater depth, fullness and complexity.” - Frederic Panaiotis, Cellar Master

Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 2010 is a prestigious champagne made exclusively from Grand Cru chardonnays. It undergoes a meticulous process including hand-harvesting, alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, and at least 9 years' ageing on lees. The reintroduction of the traditional cork drawing technique and manual disgorgement adds to its elegance and aromatic complexity. The 2010 chardonnays surprised with their richness, promising a great vintage. The champagne's golden yellow color with greenish hues and persistent sparkle is captivating. Its aromatic profile includes floral, mineral, and toasted notes, while the palate offers a blend of fig leaf, black tea, and fresh spices, culminating in a lingering fresh finish with an elegant bitterness. For a perfect pairing, resident chef Valérie Radou and cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis recommend enjoying this cuvée with spicy roast dishes or smoked/grilled fish or seafood, such as smoked blue lobster.

I try to avoid the tired clichés that make comparisons with Burgundy, but it is impossible here. The best way I can describe the 2010 Dom Ruinart is that it tastes like a great Corton-Charlemagne with bubbles. Chef de Caves Frédéric Panaïotis has poured his heart and soul into Ruinart since arriving in 2007. He richly deserves all the accolades he will surely garner for this masterpiece, an achievement that is made all the more notable by the challenges of the growing season. The 2010 Dom Ruinart is unreal. That’s all there is to it. Disgorged: 2020. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

White pepper and roasted espresso top notes ride a beautifully serene and silky mousse. Subtle in build, but full of details of green mango, apricot and brioche. Strikingly refined, exhilarating Champagne that shows no sign of slowing down. - Tom Hewson, Decanter

The first vintage since the 1960s to see tirage under natural cork in lieu of crown caps, the 2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs was disgorged in November 2021. It's showing nicely, over-performing for the vintage, displaying aromas of yellow orchard fruit, toasted nuts, spices, smoke, dried white flowers and iodine. Medium to full-bodied, pillowy and layered, with impressive concentration and chalky structure, it concludes with a long, saline finish. - William Kelley, Wine Advocate
