R Vintage 2015
Ruinart’s 2015 Champagne R is the elegant complexity of Ruinart’s taste.
Tasting Notes
The pale golden hue has green and silver highlights.
The first nose evokes the universe of the orchard with notes of crunchy pears and fig leaves. The second nose is dominated by spicy notes: between fennel, cardamom and liquorice stick. Notes of dried lime blossom and green tea tie it all together.
The attack is fresh. The wine then develops into a full and unctuous wine with notes of fresh white fruit. The finish is lively and elegant with a slight bitterness and saline notes. R de Ruinart 2015 is a dynamic and structured wine.

Ageing potential : Like all the great vintage champagnes from Ruinart, a few more years in the cellar will allow it to gain in complexity and intensity. Optimal storage conditions for Ruinart R vintage 2015: away from light ( both artificial and natural) and at a constant temperature, between 10 and 15°C.
Dosage : 6 g/litre
Characteristics : The 2015 vintage: This vintage was marked by extreme dryness during the vine cycle (20% less rain than the ten-year average) and a lot of sunshine (23% more). The beginning of August and therefore the ripening period was particularly hot and dry. The second part of August was cool and very wet. What a contrast! Fortunately, the return of dry weather during the first week of September allowed the grapes to ripen well: the harvest began on 8 September in this cool, dry climate.
Characteristics : 2015
