At least 9 years’ ageing on leeswith 5.5 g\/L dosage. It takes 12 years to produce this cuvée.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Dom Ruinart 2013 is a blanc de blancs of lithe, satin-smooth beauty already upon release, very much built around the reserved, cool energy of the 2013 vintage. This cuvée's new aromatic range, amplified since the 2010 release by toasty, spicy energy brought on by bottle fermentation under cork (sous liège), is very much at play. However, with undertones of roasting coffee, honey and fresh walnut playing with smoky gunflint and nougat richness as the gentle lemon, lime and even tropical fruit eases out with time in the glass. It's narrow rather than austere, gently sea-salt-savoury rather than lip-smackingly mineral or chalky – a Dom Ruinart with a long, long life ahead, but an equally rewarding window already opening up. Chardonnay from Le Mesnil, Avize, Chouilly, Bergères-les-Vertus, Sillery, Verzenay and Taissy, disgorged after nine years on lees. (Drink between 2024-2040)\" 97 - Tom Hewson, Decanter (05\/2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Oyster shell and a stony minerality on the nose, with salted butter and fresh croissants. Hints of white truffle, vanilla, white chocolate and vanilla-bean custard. Creamy, yet racy and very bright, with lively acidity and a long, structured finish. 5.5g\/L dosage. Drink or hold.\" 97 - James Suckling (07\/2024)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The 2013 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is another triumph from the late Frédéric Panaïotis. Disgorged in July 2023 after nine years sur lattes, with a dosage of 5.5 grams per liter—slightly higher than previous releases, tempering the brisk acidity of this cool, slow-ripening vintage—it wafts from the glass with deep aromas of fresh hazelnut, nashi pear, orange, hyacinth and bread dough, alongside the hint of Sichuan pepper and a subtle smoky note that only enhances its gently reductive, toasty signature. On the palate, it is medium- to full-bodied and chiseled, combining crystalline purity with vinosity, enlivened by a pillowy mousse and bright structuring acids, concluding with a precise, chalky finish. Expect a structurally more tightly wound version compared to the demonstrative 2009.\" 96+ - Kristap Karklins, Wine Advocate (09\/2025)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Default","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50751905300738,"sku":null,"price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/1419\/7817\/files\/shopping_875352f9-f5c3-470f-8a5b-a78cfb86aad0.webp?v=1791996253","url":"https:\/\/thewineclub.com\/products\/2010-ruinart-blanc-de-blancs-750ml-copy","provider":"The Wine Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
