Ruinart Rose Champagne / Half-Bottle
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV RuinartBrought this to a girls night
Brought two of these half bottles to my friend's house and they went down really well. It's got this lovely berry and citrus thing going on without being too sweet. Everyone asked where I got it. Feels fancy without being intimidating if that makes sense.
Decent but not sure about the value
It's a solid champagne, don't get me wrong. Clean taste, nice bubbles, good acidity. But fifty-odd quid for a half bottle is a lot. I've had full bottles of other champagne at that price that I enjoyed just as much. One for a special occasion I suppose.
Ruinart never lets me down
I keep coming back to Ruinart and this rosé is just class. There's a real depth to it that you don't get with cheaper fizz — layers of red fruit and a finish that actually sticks around. The half bottle is handy for a weeknight when a full bottle is overkill.
Perfect for two people
Picked this up for a dinner party starter and it was spot on. Poured two generous glasses each and the acidity cut right through the smoked salmon we had with it. Really well balanced and not too sweet like some rosé champagnes can be.
Lovely but it's a half bottle remember
Saw this on a menu at a nice restaurant and ordered it. Really pretty pink colour and the flavour is crisp with a bit of berry fruit. Just bear in mind £53.50 is for the half bottle so you're paying over £100 equivalent for a full one — worth knowing before you buy.
Genuinely impressed
I'm not usually a rosé person but tried this at a tasting and bought a half bottle to take home. There's a proper backbone to it — not just fruity fluff. The finish is clean and lingers nicely. At 12.5% it's easy drinking too, dangerous really.
Birthday treat that delivered
Got this as a birthday present for myself — half bottle felt like the perfect solo celebration size. The bubbles are so fine and the strawberry notes really come through. Properly elegant stuff, felt like a real treat.
Nice but pricey for the size
The wine shop guy recommended this when I said I wanted something special but didn't need a full bottle. It's good — clean, fresh, proper champagne quality. But honestly at this price I expected to be a bit more blown away. Would maybe try a different rosé champagne next time.
