98 points/'Blanc de Blancs Prestige Champagne of the Year 2022,' Tom Hewson (TimAtkin.com): "100% Chardonnay, 90% of which is from Cramant, Avize, Oger and Le Mesnil and 10% from Sillery. The first edition of this wine aged under cork at tirage. In a word: explosive. Dom Ruinart 2010 transcends the vintage reputation, and then some. Not only is its aromatic power and range quite remarkable, with layer upon layer of heady mocha, toasted rye, charred citrus and hazelnut, but some of the coolness of the harvest manifests itself in a beautifully restrained, measured palate that progresses without a single bump into a finish laced with dark honey, honeysuckle and vanilla. Absolutely remarkable. (Dec 2022)"

98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2010 Dom Ruinart is starting to open up nicely. There's still plenty of the intense, chalky minerality and energy the wine showed last year, but also a bit more mid-palate richness to balance things out. Lemon confit, marzipan, white flowers, slate and white pepper are some of the many aromas and flavors that take shape in the glass. As good as the 2010 is today, I imagine it will be even better in another few years' time. As I have written previously, the 2010 Dom Ruinart is one of the most impressive Champagnes ever made here. If there is anything better, I don't think I have tasted it! Drink: 2024-2050. (May 2023)"

98 points Falstaff Guide: "Pale yellow-green, silver reflections, fine, lively mousseux. Vanilla, fine roasted aromas from the long yeast storage, intense iris blossoms, almond cake, some broom, very multi-faceted, reductive bouquet, candied limes, very multi-faceted and inviting. Complex, fine white fruit, appears light-footed, finesse-rich acid structure, white apple, salty-lemony, very good length, fine, salty style, a delicate wine, endowed with incredible youthfulness and freshness. A milestone for Dom Ruinart, chapeau! (Deg. 1/2020) (9/30/22)"

97-98 points Essi Avellan, MW: "Overall 2010 was not a great year in Champagne, but it was for some Chardonnays, as this brilliant Dom Ruinart showcases. At Ruinart, the speciality is closing with natural cork for lees ageing, but this is the first time for Dom Ruinart in the recent era. It has resulted in fabulous ageing with stunning reductive toasty layers. The sweet coffee-and-cream nose has yeasty complexities melanging with soft, spicy tones like coconut and vanilla. The fruitiness is as pristine as it gets. Lemon curd, lime zest, orange blossom... Beautifully reductive in the aroma profile, almost like having the magnum effect in a 75cl bottle! So fine and delicious on the silky-smooth and seemingly feather-light palate. This wine shows that Chardonnay really had what it takes in that difficult year. A stunning wine that is blooming already but comes with such cool refinement and tightness that longevity is easy to predict. Disgorged 11/20; dosage 6g/l. (Aug 2022)"

97 points Tom Hewson (Decanter): "White pepper and roasted espresso top notes ride a beautifully serene and silky mousse. Subtle in build, but full of details of green mango, apricot and brioche. Strikingly refined, exhilarating Champagne that shows no sign of slowing down. Drinking Window: 2023-2040. (12/18/23)"

96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "This is the first vintage of this cuvée that the house has opted to age under cork instead of crown capsule for the aging on the lees, sur latte. It pours a vibrant straw/green hue, and comes from five villages: Sillery, Avize, Cramant, Chouily, and Mesnil-sur-Oger. The 2010 Champagne Dom Ruinart Blanc De Blancs Extra Brut was raised, as it always is, without the use of oak, and saw 3 grams per liter of dosage. Highly expressive on opening, it’s layered with aromas of fresh baked croissant, key lime, melon, and honeysuckle. Rounded and long on the palate, it’s elegant and refined within its medium frame and takes on a remarkable silky chalk texture. Floral all the way through the finish, with long-lasting notes of lemon curd, it retains a springy freshness that is true to the house style but is quite elevated and impeccably well-balanced with layered depth. This would be a great addition to the cellar. Drink 2025-2045. Disgorged in June of 2022. Drink: 2025-2045. (11/17/23)"
