Dom Ruinart 2002
Production
Ruinart uses the méthode champenoise for their champagne production. Dom Ruinart 2002 is composed of 100% Chardonnay from 100% Grand Cru vineyards. Ruinart uses the pneumatic press instead of the traditional champagne press to prevent oxidation. Ruinart also incorporates inert nitrogen gas during the production. Vinification is only in stainless steel. Dom Ruinart 2002 undergoes full malolactic fermentation. The House relies exclusively on gyropalates rather than hand riddling feeling they are superior. Also, the shape of the bottle makes hand riddling difficult. Aged 8 to 10 years or more in the cellars. The dosage is tweaked at each disgorgement for this prestige cuvee, generally decreasing as wines age, typically 5.5 to 7 grams per liter.
