Just a little bit of history
This, the oldest Champagne House, was founded in 1729 by Nicolas Ruinart, a linen merchant and nephew of Dom Thierry Ruinart, a well known wine-maker and colleague of Dom Perignon.
The firm prospered through the turbulent Napoleon’s era, though the family’s royalist sympathies were made clear when Irenee Ruinart, as Major of Reims and depute for the Mrne, welcomed Charles X to his coronation in Reims Cathedral in 1825. Irene’s son, Edmond Ruinart, was an early prospector of the US market. He was received in 1832 by President Jackson, to whom he presented a case of Ruinart champagne.
Nearly 39 years later his heir, Edgar, was traveling to Russia where he had an audience with the Tsar.
Thanks to adventures men like the Ruinart, the total exports of Champagne quadrupled between 1850 and 1899.
During the first World War the firm’s premises in Reims were all but destroyed. Undaunted, Andre Ruinart, then head of the firm, set up an office in one off his Roman chalk cellars and, when this was badly flooded, installed his working desk on a raft, so that business could carry on as usual. The house remained a family affair until it was bought by Moet & Chandon in 1963.
