Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Champagne With Gift Wrap 1.5L

Ruinart Champagne

1500 ml | 12% ABV
Champagne
From the first established Champagne House, made exclusively from 100% Premier Cru Chardonnay grapes, Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is smooth and rounded on the palate. A well balanced, rich, suave and fresh wine. It is the purest expression of freshness and elegance with notes of citrus, stone fruits and jasmine. It is a beautiful, luminous pale gold color, enhanced by the elegance of the clear bottle.
 
The Second Skin Case
The second skin packaging was developed with manufacturing partners, Pusterla 1880 and James Cropper. The manufacturer James Cropper was established in 1845, on the shores of the Lake District National Park between Scotland and England, where it developed a unique savoir-faire. The family business is specialized in paper, respectfully leading innovations amidst a landscape classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The water indispensable to the creation of the second skin case is drawn from the site, 91% of which is clean enough to be released back into the river after manufacture. The result is obtained without the use of plastic. 

Maison Ruinart puts its leadership role in service of sustainable development. This approach results from multiple technological challenges, focusing the efforts on a unique material—namely cellulose fibers, or pulped paper.

Where a big gift box made sense in the past, an entirely recyclable cloak composed of 99% natural wood fibers is a more suitable fit today. The sustainable innovation of the second skin case extolls a return to nature and to the natural: it aims to reduce waste and recycle materials without denaturing experience or taste. 

Light, aesthetic and functional, the second skin case suggests a new set of gesture: it is inspired by the manner in which maîtres d’s wrap a white serviette around bottles of champagne. Suitable for storage for several months in a fridge, the case can withstand the humidity of a cellar, and up to three hours in an ice bucket. So rather than being disposed of immediately, the case may be retained until serving or longer to maintain the integrity of the wine.

THE CHALK WRAP
In 2020, Ruinart revolutionised its packaging with the new "Second Skin" case, which replaced the unitary boxes. This sustainable innovation required two years of research and development. Dom Ruinart’s chalk wrap offers a new interpretation of this innovation. Velvety soft to the touch like chalk, with its gentle reliefs and crevices crisscross, as if carved directly into chalky rock. A hand-applied gold marking enhances its exceptional character. The discreetly engraved 1729 on the fastening button indicates the heritage of Maison Ruinart, the world’s first champagne House.

TASTING NOTES

COLOUR: Visually, the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs has a brilliant robe with a beautiful pale yellow color and slight hints of almond green and jade green reflections.

THE NOSE: The first nose reveals intense aromas of fresh fruit: ripe lemon, juicy pear, or freshly picked peach. The secondary aromas are more floral with hints of white flowers, accompanied by a spicy touch combining ginger and pink peppercorns.

PALATE: Balancing tension with roundness, the enveloping structure is highlighted by fresh aromas of ripe citrus and tropical fruit. With a long and delicate finale.

AWARDS: Wine Spectator score of 92.

Absinthe, which is a spirit traditionally derived from grand wormwood, anise and fennel, has a long and colorful history. While its origins remain unclear, the use of medicinal wormwood dates back to ancient Egypt. In the 18th and 19th centuries, absinthe was distributed by the French Army to its troops as a cure for several digestive diseases, including dysentery and tropical fever. When the troops returned home, they brought their taste for absinthe with them. Spurred by the temperance movement and winemakers, absinthe became associated with hallucinogenic effects. One critic claimed that absinthe would "make you crazy and criminal," and that it would "provoke epilepsy and tuberculosis."In 1905, Swiss farmer Jean Lanfray murdered his family after consuming considerable quantities of wine, brandy and two glasses of absinthe. While Lanfray had a history of alcoholism, Swiss teetotalers seized the moment and passed a referendum making absinthe illegal. Similarly, absinthe was prohibited in the United States for nearly a century; from 1912 until 2007, absinthe was not allowed to be consumed on American soil. La Muse Verte is crafted from a traditional absinthe recipe that was originally created in the late 19th century and refined over the course of the next hundred years. The recipe calls for a secret blend of up to eight different ingredients, including fresh, organic grand wormwood (the wormwood is used within a few months of harvest). After each plant used in crafting the absinthe is harvested, it is steeped in a beet-based spirit for up to three weeks in order to extract the flavors, oils and texture of the plant. After the plants have been macerated, the absinthe is married together without the use sugar, artificial additives or coloring, and bottled at 136 proof the historical alcohol content of absinthes crafted centuries ago (the black bottle ensures that light does not spoil the color of the absinthe). La Muse Verte has a fresh, herbal aroma with hints of grass, licorice and citrus. The aroma gives way to a fluffy, coating texture that has notes of apples, herbs and peppermint, and ends with a spicy touch. The absinthe earned a score of 97 points at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2013 the highest score of any absinthe and was awarded the Chairman's Trophy.
