Ruinart Brut Rose Second Skin NV (750ML)

Pinot Noir makes up 55% of Ruinart's Brut Rosé, alongside 45% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. The Pinot comes from the Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne, and part of it is vinified as red wine to give the color. Grapes are picked by hand across 40 to 50 crus, fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel and put through malolactic. Reserve wines from a range of years make up 20–30% of the blend, and the wine rests two to three years in the cellars before a dosage of 8 g/L. It pours a deep, saturated pink edging toward orange, and the palate is soft, broad and generous, full-bodied for a rosé. This release comes in Second Skin, a fully recyclable molded-paper casing in place of a gift box. Pour it with seared tuna, salmon tartare or thinly sliced prosciutto.
