The start of the 2010 Vintage was marked by a fresh Spring with temperatures well below the ten year average. These lower temperatures persisted until flowering and were the reason behind a delay of five days in the vine’s cycle. Harvest began on September 15th and the optimal quality of the Chardonnays was maintained until maturity at the end of the harvest. This cuvée offers a distinct savor exalted by exploration, at the very frontier between experimentation and certitude.
The first nose gives powdery, floral (iris) and mineral (wet rock) notes evoking the world of perfumery. Then, toasted and spicy notes dominate followed by zesty notes of citrus.
Intense and balanced. Rich and tense. Very concentrated, multi-dimensional with a strong aromatic intensity. Fresh fig tree leaf aromas mingle with notes of black tea and fresh spices. The 2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs evokes a grand Chardonnay wine.
