Alana L rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

At the Ritz-Carlton Hotel today with my two adorable god-daughters for High Tea in the Palm Court. The Afternoon Tea experience has been a tradition at the Ritz-Carlton Montreal since 1912 and I adore the ‘oh so British’ mix of teas, homemade sandwiches, scones with cream and the amazing pastries made by Claude Guérin (who was named Canada’s Best Pastry Chef in 2018). A tradition that I plan on continuing for many years with these two princesses.

In my glass - tea shall come later - a glass of Ruinart Brut Champagne to match the history of this hotel and tea experience (Ruinart is considered the oldest and very first champagne house and was founded 290 years ago). Medium-bodied, classic and elegant, straw yellow in colour it has, in my book, the perfect expression of bubbles in the glass: fine and persistent. On the nose there are fruit and floral notes and it’s palate has good depth of flavour, lively acidity with just enough creaminess and notes of butter, brioche and citrus.
Sara d’Amato called it ‘memorable’ and rated it 93 on WineAlign last year and Wine Enthusiast rates it 90. No argument here! Cheers friends ?? ??!
