The house of Ruinart is unique, being the first champagne house, founded in 1729, inspired by the intuition of a monk who was ahead of his time.
Dom Thierry Ruinart, an intuitive and visionary Benedictine monk, lived from 1657 to 1709, contemporaneous with Louis XIV. A brilliant theologian and historian, at the age of 23, he left his home in Champagne and moved to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of the most influential centers of knowledge near Paris. There, he was exposed to city and courtly life, where he became aware of a new “wine with bubbles,” still unknown as champagne, which was already popular among the young aristocracy.
Since its founding in 1729, the first champagne house in the world has crafted its exceptional wines, always maintaining the roots of its terroir and inherited savoir-faire. Sustainability is not just an imperative for Ruinart, but a source of innovation and creative inspiration.
Ruinart has elevated sustainable packaging to a new level with a pioneering eco-design for 100% paper packaging, which is fully recyclable and molded to fit the iconic curves of the bottle.
