Ruinart Blanc de Blancs NV 1.5L Magnum — The World's Oldest Champagne House in Magnum

Ruinart holds a distinction that no other Champagne house can claim: it is the oldest established Champagne house in the world, founded in 1729. The Blanc de Blancs is the house's purest expression: 100% Chardonnay, sourced primarily from Grand Cru vineyards in the Cote des Blancs, crafted to deliver the freshness, purity, and mineral elegance that Ruinart has made its signature. In 1.5L Magnum format, the larger bottle slows the ageing process, delivering a finer, more persistent mousse and greater complexity.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles. Pure and immediately captivating — fresh citrus leads with lemon zest, white grapefruit, and a delicate lime blossom lift, followed by white peach, subtle tropical notes, and a refined mineral depth. Light to medium-bodied with a creamier, more seamless mousse than the standard bottle. Long, pure, and mineral on the finish.

Food Pairing

Prestige Blanc de Blancs in magnum demands premium shellfish. We love it with Hokkaido Sashimi-Grade Sea Scallops from My Meat Man — seared in brown butter with a squeeze of lemon, the sweet plump scallops are a magnificent match for Ruinart's pure Chardonnay elegance, citrus freshness and long mineral finish.

Why This Is a Smart Buy

At HK$1,488 for 1.5 litres — the equivalent of 2 standard bottles — the Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Magnum represents exceptional value for the benchmark Blanc de Blancs from the world's oldest Champagne house.
