Moët & Hennessy's Dom Ruinart Rosé 2004 in magnum has been awarded Supreme World Champion 2021 by the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships, judged by a jury of champagne and sparkling wine specialists in a blind tasting.
Born in 1966, Dom Ruinart Rosé has only known twenty vintages, as it is created from a base of Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs (80 per cent) blended with Pinot Noir vinified as a red wine – both from the same year – thus requiring the harvest be exceptional for both Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
This rosé expression has a complex and delicate aromatic palate that brings together crisp red fruits with smoky and spicy notes.
“There is real aromatic intensity, but the texture is reminiscent of taffeta” said Ruinart Cellar Master Frédéric Panaiotis.
In 1764, Maison Ruinart became the first Champagne House to offer a rosé champagne, which was referred to at the time as œil de perdrix, or partridge eye.
Launched in 2014 by renowned writer and specialist author Tom Stevenson, this highly esteemed wine competition aims to provide consumers and professionals with an annual guide to the world’s best champagnes and sparkling wines.
The jury is composed exclusively of champagne and sparkling wine specialists and the tasting is conducted
completely blind.
