Ruinart Champagne

Founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, Maison Ruinart is the oldest Champagne house. Inspired by the vision of Dom Thierry Ruinart, it has been developing a unique approach to Champagne for nearly three centuries, based on the expression of the Chardonnay and a constant pursuit of elegance. Even today, the House continues to cultivate this pioneering spirit at its historic estate at 4 rue des Crayères in Reims.
