A perfect 100 from Antonio Galloni? Say no more. 🥂
We tracked down the last 11 bottles of 2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs—and they won’t last.
Let’s face it—there’s no shortage of wine critics these days. And while their experience and perspectives are absolutely valid, not all ratings carry the same weight for every palate.
After all, no one’s lining up to read about 82-point wines.
The real move? Find the critics whose tastes align with yours—and trust them. Even then, it’s not one-size-fits-all. Personally, I lean on Jeb Dunnuck for Rhône wines, Neal Martin for Bordeaux and Burgundy, and when it comes to Champagne, Antonio Galloni of Vinous is my north star.
Galloni is known for being a tough grader—he doesn’t hand out high scores lightly. Which is exactly why, when he does, it means something. In my experience, every Champagne he’s championed has delivered in a big way.
So, when his latest report landed—and he awarded the 2010 Dom Ruinart Blanc de Blancs a perfect 100 points—I didn’t hesitate. A few calls later, we secured the final 11 bottles available on the market.
There’s not much more to add beyond Galloni’s praise.
This is one of those rare, no-brainer bottles.
