The House of Ruinart is unlike any other. It was the first established House of Champagne, founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart who was inspired by the intuition of his visionary uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk who learned the craft of sparkling wine which was popular among aristocrats at court. The house has steadily been run since then for nearly 300 years. Now days Maison Ruinart has been a pioneer in sustainability, stemming from their deeply rooted beliefs that the future of their champagne depends on the protection of nature. Along with reducing spraying, an impressive reforesting project sees this house at the forefront of biodiversity planting 25000 trees in 2022 promoting life through the vineyards.
