ANYONE WHO HAS SPENT TIME WITH ANDREW KNOWS of his love for bubbles. When it comes to Rosé Champagne that passion leads to the iconic Ruinart Rosé This has been a celebratory wine with his wife Courtney and the two have had many a toast with it to mark special days in their lives. Andrew’s philosophy is that a great day should have bubbles in it and Ruinart Rosé helps make the occasion extra SPECIAL! Established in 1729, Ruinart is the world’s first champagne house, founded by Dom Ruinart’s vision of extraordinary sparkling wines from the Champagne region. Chardonnay forms the foundation for all Ruinart’s cuvées and is the House’s signature grape variety. The wines are elegant and refined with a timeless, modern style. Ruinart Rosé is a blend of 55% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay from the best of recent vintages with fruit from premiers crus vineyards including the Brimont vineyard which is the ancestral home of the Ruinart family. A brilliant rose petal color leads to a nose of small red berries and a well-balanced, fresh palate with well-integrated tannins and a hint of spice on the lengthy finish
