RUINART

Faced with climate change, Ruinart’s Blanc Singulier

vintage reflects the Maison’s capacity for innovation

while maintaining the highest standards of excellence

for its champagnes. It all starts in the vineyard. Ruinart

has observed the climate changes affecting its wines

warmer winters early springs April frosts everrising

average temperatures and earlier grape harvests Cellar

Master Frédéric Panaïotis and his teams have noticed new

aromatic profiles emerging as a result of these changing

climate conditions Now Ruinart has crafted

Blanc Singulier harnessing these distinctive

profiles by adapting its expertise and wine

making practices while preserving the

Maison’s signature taste. The first vintage to be released

is Edition 18, which was shaped by the climate variations

experienced by vineyards in 2018 – a particularly warm

year marked by an early harvest. The year’s wines feature

juicy white fruit and candied citrus notes as well as floral

honey scents and smoked spices Ruinarts Blanc Singulier

is a collection of successive singular editions with each one

the product of a year of extraordinary climate conditions
