Ruinart Blanc de Blancs, Non Vintage (6 bottles @ $115 per bottle)
Delicate and floral, with citrus blossom, apple and ginger notes. Nicely balanced, picking up some textural detail on the finish. An appealing fresh style on the palate Ideal as an aperitif. Many Champagne houses would like to lay claim to the accolade of being the longest established house, but only one may do so in truth. And that house is Ruinart, a business established in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart. The Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs was first released with the 1959 vintage. This is Grand Cru Chardonnay, a large proportion of which originates from the Montagne de Reims; Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Sillery and Verzenay. These villages impart a great depth and presence on the palate, and an ability to age well.

First, Brut Yellow Label looks beautiful: golden-yellow, with a foaming necklace of tiny bubbles. Next it is so pleasing to the nose: initially reminiscent of white fruits and raisins, then of vanilla and later of brioche. Note the fine balance between the fruity aromas coming from the grape varieties and the toasty aromas following the ageing in the bottle. The first sip delivers all the freshness and forcefulness so typical of Yellow Label with a symphony of fruit tastes following on. Here is a true member of the powerful Brut family, well structured, admirably vinous. Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label manages to reconcile two opposing factors – forcefulness and finesse - and to hold them in perfect balance.
