Tasting Notes: Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs Brut Millesime 2010 has golden-yellow with greenish reflections and a fine, persistent sparkle. The nose reveals delicate powdery, floral, and mineral notes reminiscent of the chypre universe, followed by layers of nutmeg, roasted hazelnut, almond, and a touch of coffee. On the palate, fig leaf nuances mingle with black tea and fresh spices, culminating in a lingering finish lifted by refined freshness and elegant bitterness.
