Elaboration:

1. Used Grapes: R de Ruinart Brut is mainly made with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes, two of the most emblematic varieties in the Champagne region.
2. Traditional Method: The traditional bottle fermentation method (méthode champenoise) is used. This process involves a second fermentation in the bottle, giving it its fine and persistent bubbles.
3. Aging: Ruinart Brut usually undergoes aging in the cellar for at least three years, contributing to its complexity and elegance.
4. Dosage: It is a Brut champagne, which means it has a low residual sugar level, enhancing its freshness and balance.

Characteristics:

1. Color: It has a pale yellow color with golden reflections.
2. Aroma: On the nose, fresh fruit notes like green apple and pear are perceived, along with floral hints and a subtle minerality.
3. Taste: It is balanced and fresh on the palate, with a vibrant acidity and flavors reminiscent of stone fruits and citrus, with a long and persistent finish.
4. Bubbles: Its effervescence is fine and constant, providing a creamy texture on the palate.

Pairing:

1. Seafood and Fish: Its freshness and acidity make it ideal to pair with seafood such as oysters, lobster, crab, or shrimp. It also pairs well with white fish like sea bass, sole, or trout.
2. Appetizers and Starters: Ruinart Brut is perfect to accompany light starters like fresh salads, fish carpaccio, or sushi.
3. Main Courses: It can pair well with poultry dishes like chicken or turkey, especially if prepared with creamy or citrus-based sauces.
4. Cheeses: It goes well with soft and creamy cheeses like brie or camembert, as well as fresh goat cheeses.
