Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 19 joins the collection of cuvée editions, each reflecting the variations of a year marked by extreme climatic conditions.

THE VINTAGE

The year 2019, characterized by three intense summer heatwaves and a record temperature, is emblematic of climatic upheavals. Thanks to a warm and sunny season, the vine's vegetative cycle was very rapid, and the ripe and early harvest began as early as September. These specific climatic conditions led to different aromatic balances. During the tasting of the base wines, the oenological team detected these intense textures and atypical aromatic profiles. As a result, they decided to create Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 19.

TASTING NOTES

On the eye: The wine’s color is a clear, bright golden yellow with subtle green highlights.

On the nose: The aromas of juicy and sweet white fruits evoke nectarine and Nashi pear. Lightly candied, fragrant, and fresh yellow citrus notes add a tangy touch. Scents of white flowers (musk rose) with more honeyed nuances such as honeysuckle blend with smoky spice fragrances (saffron) - reminiscent of those found in Ruinart Blanc Singulier Edition 18.

On the palate: The initial taste sensation is vibrant and lively, but quickly gives way to a powerful and enveloping texture. This gustatory sensation provides the dimension of a champagne that is both refined and indulgent. On the palate, notes of white fruits and citrus are present, along with more candied and floral tones. The wine's length reveals delicate bitterness, highlighting the wine's freshness and structure in the finish.
