Ruinart is the oldest and most prestigious Champagne house in the world, founded in 1729 in Reims. It is renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship, heritage, and production of high-quality champagne, particularly its Blanc de Blancs (made from Chardonnay grapes). The house has a deep connection with the history of champagne and is praised for its elegant and refined sparkling wines.
Some of the production facilities are located in Reims, the heart of the Champagne region. The house also has strong ties to the historic cellars in the region, which are carved into the limestone of the Montagne de Reims. These cellars are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site due to their historical and geological significance.
Visitors can explore the historic underground limestone cellars, learn about the production process, and taste the champagnes.
