Praise for Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Champagne Brut Half

92, Wine Spectator, "Smoky and focused, with an intensity to the racy acidity and tightly knit flavors of white peach, chamomile, crystallized honey, pickled ginger and pink peppercorn. Exhibits lovely texture and offers a long, mineral-tinged finish." 92, Wine Enthusiast, "White flower and pear aromas offer a wine that is mineral, nervy, vibrating with the freshest white fruits and lemon juice. It is concentrated, showing strong signs of toast, mature flavors, while keeping great richness." 90, The Wine Advocate, "This is a fabulous version of Ruinart's NV Brut Blanc de Blancs. The wine seems fresher, more vibrant and less obviously sweet than in the past, all of which makes this a far more interesting wine. The trademark profile of lemon, jasmine and green apples is very much in the forefront while the wine's textural finesse and length are both first-class. This release of the NV Brut makes a great introduction to the wines of Ruinart, Champagne's oldest house." 90, International Wine Cellar, "Light, bright yellow. Aromas and flavors of lemon curd, yellow apple and honey, with a floral topnote. Plump and expansive, with a powerful finish marked by smoky mineral and brioche notes. This bottling seems to have become richer in recent years but it still shows the energy that I associate with Ruinart." 90, Wine & Spirits, "Floral in its sweet scents of bee pollen, apple blossoms, honey and vanilla, this is pale and saturated with flavor, rather than a terrior driven blanc de blancs, this is presented in a yeasty style, and its pretty delicious. Pour it with something as substainial as braised pork shoulder. "
