The uncle of Nicolas Ruinart, Dom Thierry Ruinart, for whom
the house’s flagship wine is named, was a close friend of Dom
Pérignon.
The family lineage ownership lasted until financial assistance
from Baron Philippe de Rothschild was taken in 1950, and in
1963 the entire business was sold to Moët & Chandon before it
became part of the LVMH group.

LIVIO FELLUGA, FRIUILI, ITALY
In Friuli, and far beyond this special land of very special people
and wines, the name Livio Felluga is synonymous with all that is
best in the oenological heritage.
The long family tradition extends over five generations, back to
the days when the Fellugas were making Refosco and Malvasia in
their native Isola d’Istria.
Seventy years ago, the family’s skills were transferred to Friuli
by the eldest son of the fourth generation, Livio, whose great
privilege it is to be regarded as the patriarch of viticulture and
winemaking in the region.
Today, the Livio Felluga estate extends over more than 160
hectares of hill country in the Collio and Colli Orientali del Friuli,
with 135 hectares planted to vine.
The vineyards yield exclusively great wines with instantly
recognisable fragrances and aromas.
