Of his many works, the one now cited is his Acta sincera, a martyrology written in Latin (with a French translation published in 1732 by Drouet de Maupertuy). Ruinart's work is one of the main sources of Alphonsus Liguori's Victories of the Martyrs. Ruinart was also interested in oenology. In 1729, his nephew Nicolas Ruinart founded the champagne house of Ruinart, which operates to this day.
