Ruinart is the oldest established Champagne house, operating since 1792. Present day, it is owned by LVMHMoet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA. Ruinart is often called the “chardonnay house” for its reliance on Champagne’s white variety. Former cellar master Jean-François Barot decided to focus on the grape when he redefined the Ruinart style in the early 1990s. Chardonnay-dominant Champagne tends to be fine and linear, thus the house style is finesse driven. The Ruinart bottle is inspired by the first champagne bottles of the 18th century.
