Ruinart Brut Blanc de Blancs Champagne

Very fresh and clean with lemon-pith, fresh sourdough and white-apricot aromas. Hint of almond, too. Refreshing and creamy on the palate, with fine bubbles and a bright, sleek finish. 2021 base, with 38% reserve wines. Disgorged early 2024. 7g/L dosage. Drink now [through 2030]. Score – 93.
