Established in 1729, Ruinart stands as the inaugural Champagne House, a pivotal reference in the world of champagne. The visionary monk Dom Thierry Ruinart is credited with the foundation of this historic Champagne House. Nestled in the heart of Reims, the Ruinart House safeguards a unique treasure. Renowned for its historical significance and architectural brilliance, the Ruinart chalk quarries earned the distinction of a historic site in 1931 and achieved UNESCO World Heritage status in 2015. Situated nearly 40 meters below ground, within the dark and cool cathedral-like cellars, the precious bottles patiently await their moment in the spotlight.

About The Producer
Dom Thierry Ruinart was a humble and visionary Benedictine monk who lived from 1657 to 1709 during the reign of Louis XIV. A gifted theologian and historian, he left Champagne at 23 to join the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés near Paris, where he encountered a more sophisticated lifestyle and learned about a new “wine with bubbles” favored by young aristocrats. On September 1, 1729, Nicolas Ruinart drafted the founding charter of Maison Ruinart in Reims, creating the world’s first champagne-producing company.
