A tribute to Dom Thierry Ruinart, the visionary figure on the initiative of Ruinart's foundation, Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is a creation inspired by the exceptional vintages of Chardonnay. The first Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs was created in 1959. A rosé cuvée closely followed with the 1966 vintage. As for the whites, chardonnay is the keyword for Dom Ruinart rosés. After the Second World War, the cellars of the house were empty and seized during the occupation. It is only in 2017 that the cellar master Frédéric Panaïotis finds what appears to be the last bottle of this very first vintage. It is preciously kept in the cellar master's oenotheque in the heart of the Ruinart chalk cellar in Reims.

2007 is an extraordinary vintage and one of the very few in Champagne when the harvest began in August. After a sunny and very warm spring, the months of June, July, and August brought rather gloomy weather and heavy rainfall. And yet these cool temperatures did nothing to counteract the vineyard's early and rapid progress, with the grapes quickly reaching full ripeness. The blend is 100% Chardonnay exclusively from Grand Cru vineyards: and 75% from the Côte des Blancs (Chouilly, Le Mesnil,
Oger and Avize) and 25% from the northern slopes of Montagne de Reims (predominantly Sillery and Verzenay).
