This limited edition Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, presented in a 300cl bottle, features a unique design by contemporary British artist David Shrigley. Renowned for its purity and elegance, this Champagne is produced from 100% Chardonnay grapes sourced from premier and grand cru vineyards. The David Shrigley Edition stands out not only for its exceptional Champagne but also for its artistic presentation, making it a collectible item for art and wine enthusiasts alike. The wine exhibits a bright, golden hue with green reflections. The nose reveals intense notes of ripe citrus fruits, white flowers, and a hint of minerality. On the palate, it is both full-bodied and delicate, with a persistent effervescence and a refreshing finish.

Ruinart's Blanc de Blancs is a signature cuvée, made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. This Champagne is celebrated for its pure, bright, and elegant character, featuring crisp acidity and vibrant notes of citrus and white fruits. The Blanc de Blancs illustrates Ruinart's mastery of the Chardonnay grape, creating a Champagne that expresses purity and aromatic freshness.

Ruinart is considered the oldest established Champagne house, exclusively producing champagne since 1729. It was founded by Nicolas Ruinart in the city of Reims, the Champagne region of France. The house was established a century after Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk, who had a profound knowledge of wine, hinted at the future success champagne would have. Today, Ruinart champagne is known for its chardonnay dominance, emphasizing freshness, purity, and elegance.
