    1. Dom Pérignon 2008

    2008 was dominated by grey, overcast skies – an exception in a decade characterized by bold, generous sunshine.

    AN HOMAGE TO THE RUINART TASTE

    2007 is an extraordinary vintage, and one of the very few in Champagne when the harvest began in August. After a sunny and very warm spring, the months of June, July and August brought rather gloomy weather and heavy rainfall. The blend is 100% Chardonnay exclusively from Grand Cr...
