Ruinart, the oldest House in the market, is also considered the most innovative and disruptive one, as competitors keep following Ruinart’s new strategies. The protagonist, Frédéric Dufour, is the Chief Executive Officer of Champagne Ruinart since 2011. He has been developing the global strategy of the company, while keeping its luxury image and authenticity. Since the launch of the new vintage Dom Ruinart 2002 in 2013, Dufour is now embodying change in this luxury industry by implementing environmental, artistic and diversity matters, thus disrupting the market Ruinart was already in.
