Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Champagne With Gift Wrap

Ruinart Champagne

750 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.

Ricard Pastis de Marseille

Ricard Pastis

750 | 45% ABV
Liqueur | Amaro

In the early 1930s in the French port city of Marseille, locals ordered anise-based liqueurs from cafes around town while these cafes sold any number of varieties, most of the liqueurs were actually illicit. Perhaps more importantly, many of these same liqueurs were also too sweet for consumers tastes, and so Paul Ricard, son of a wine merchant, diligently began working on a recipe that would more adequately suit the French people's tastes. Ricard set up an improvised laboratory in the small commune of Sainte-Marthe to experiment with new recipes, macerating Provenal plants, fennel seeds, aniseed essence and other herbs in search of the perfect recipe. In 1932, at the age of only 23, Ricard successfully found that recipe, and along with it created the first French long drink one part pastis with five parts water, finished off with ice. So confident was the young man in his product that he named the pastis Ricard, using his education in fine arts to design the product's first label himself. Ricard pastis is still made using Paul Ricard's original recipe, which has remained a secret since 1932. The main ingredient in Ricard is star anise harvested in southern China here, only the best fruits are hand-picked, sundried and distilled onsite to produce anise essential oil. Meanwhile, across the world, liquorice root is sourced from the Middle East (this ingredient is what gives Ricard pastis its legendary yellow hue) to be used in Ricard, along with the final secret ingredients which are said to come from Provenal plants. In Bessa, a small village near Bziers, all of these ingredients are purified, macerated and blended before being filtered three times before bottling. As a result, Ricard pastis offers a refreshing aroma of star anise and licorice, which leads to a medium-bodied palate filled with flavors of fresh fruits, wood and Eastern spices. The finish is long, light and pleasant. Ricard pastis remains one of France's most popular beverages today, and in 2014 earned a score of 93 points (exceptional) at the International Review of Spirits.
