Ruinart : Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004

Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004: a pure and complex Rosé Champagne

The Dom Ruinart Rosé is a Rosé Champagne wine from the Ruinart Champagne House. A mild winter and beautiful spring marked the 2004 vintage. The technical team feared that the grapes might not ripen because of the mediocre summer and the heavy load on the vines. The weather became warmer and drier in September, and the berries could finally ripen until they were harvested. The Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004 comes from a blend of 81% Chardonnay Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, and 19% from Pinot Noir vinified as red wine.

With a pretty rosé colour and copper highlights, the Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004 develops very sweet fragrances that combine sweet, ripe red fruit (raspberry, currant, wild strawberry) with more pink floral and wet stone mineral notes. On the palate, the wine is frank and straight and offers tasty touches of red fruit and citrus fruit (blood orange, mandarin). On the finish, this pure and complex Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004 (thanks to a low dosage of 4 g / l) is fresh and sharp.
