Ad of the week: Ruinart Champagne

From Vanity Fair, 1/35 (click through to enlarge):

Ruinart Champagne

Ruinart is apparently still around, but pricey enough that I’d never afford more than a split. Which is probably why I had never heard of the brand before seeing this ad.

Yup, they are still around, and if you go to Paris I highly recommend getting out to Rheims 1.5 hours outside Paris and touring Ruinart’s network of Champagne aging caves right under the whole town re-purposed from quarries the Romans carved out of limestone to build the city. It was the best tour, much more intimate than the other big houses we hit. And the samples were of course excellent.
