Dom Ruinart, Blanc de Blancs--Vintage 1988 Such a textbook Chardonnay, Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs is more wine than Champagne, due no doubt to its origins: a blend of Avize, Cramant, Chouilly, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. Sillery and Verzaney. The fact that half this cuve is produced from Chardonnay grown on the Montagne de Reims accounts for its exceptional weight and viniosity, and the Burgundian tones it acquires after maturation in bottle.
