A New Chapter from the Oldest Champagne House!
Designed by renowned Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto, the pavilion is a modern space surrounded by a sculpture garden featuring original works by reputed artists. This modern space offers tastings, a boutique and a restaurant for lunch and dinner. The opportunity to discover Ruinart's most emblematic cuvées with seasonal cuisine.
Founded in 1729, Ruinart is recognized as the oldest established champagne house. It was created by Nicolas Ruinart, inspired by the vision of his uncle, Dom Thierry Ruinart, a Benedictine monk who foresaw the potential of sparkling wine in the early 18th century.
The champagne house is also known for its historic chalk cellars, or "crayères," which date back to Roman times. These underground galleries provide ideal conditions for aging champagne and are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Ruinart is especially celebrated for its elegant, Chardonnay-driven champagnes, such as the Blanc de Blancs. Today, it continues to blend tradition with innovation, maintaining its legacy as a symbol of refinement and French art de vivre.
