Dom Ruinart, one of the most brilliant minds of his day, was the first to anticipate the importance of champagne production and trade in the future. On his travels through Europe, he noticed the growing enthusiasm for champagne in the aristocratic circles of the Royal Courts. Coming from a high society Champagne family which at the time traded in woollen cloth, he passed on his knowledge and vision of the champagne trade to his brother, Nicolas Ruinart. Dom Ruinart was a true pioneer who had already foreseen the cachet and commercial success of champagne. But it took a royal decree for the dream to become reality. On 25 May 1728, the King authorised the transport of wine in bottles; prior to that date, wine could only travel in casks, which was out of the question for champagne. The bold son of Nicolas Ruinart, also called Nicolas, was greatly inspired by his uncle and laid the foundations of the first champagne house.
