The first vintage since the 1960s to see tirage under natural cork in lieu of crown caps, the 2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs was disgorged in November 2021.

The 1998 Brut Blanc de Blancs Dom Ruinart, on the other hand, is breath-taking. This beautiful, precise wine flows with an array of smoke, toastiness, ripe Chardonnay fruit and minerals.
