Half Bottle of champagne RUINART The Cuvee R by Ruinart

A quarter of reserve wine might not sound too tempting on its own, but when this is added to a luscious combination of 40% Chardonnay grapes and 60% Pinot Noir, it becomes something much more than the sum of its parts...

The Champagne R de Ruinart is a lively, fruity, golden wine with a subtle flavour originating from white-fleshed fruit. An excellent aperitif, it's the ideal companion to any meal and possesses a clarity that is most impressive.

This natural transparency is matched by glinting gold and a wonderful shine. On the nose, hints of pear and dried fruit make for a fresh and fruity experience. More follows, with acacia, hawthorn and wild rose all notable – as well as a touch of brioche which charms with a light buttering. On the palate R by Ruinart champagne is carefully balanced, round and fleshy. Ripe fruit aromas lead to a finale that screams of good persistence and dynamic flair.
