Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs 1990 Champagne 75cl (Gift Pack)

Produced only in exceptional vintages, Dom Ruinart is the ultimate expression of Chardonnay from the world's oldest Champagne house. Sourced predominantly from Grand Cru vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, it embodies the elegance, purity and finesse that have defined Ruinart since 1729. The superb 1990 vintage, one of Champagne's greatest of the modern era, has matured magnificently over more than three decades, developing extraordinary complexity while retaining the freshness and chalky precision that are the hallmarks of great Blanc de Blancs.

"Deep gold. Lovely deep, rich, rather masculine nose. Reminds me a little of Winston Churchill style even! Big and even mushrooms. A sparkling grand cru white burgundy more than a champagne! Real weight... A champagne to drink with a cigar?! Very clean finish. Explosive and alluring. Very different style from the next great vintage, 1996!"  JancisRobinson.com, October 2009
