Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Gold Brut 750mL

The first release from Champagne Armand de Brignac, the Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range. Rich with the old-world tradition of champagne blending, it is a trio of vintages from some of the most lauded terroirs of the region, resulting in a cuvée expressing vibrant and fresh fruit character with a soft texture.

In the 1950s, Nelly Cattier, mother to Jean-Jacques, discovered a character in a novel she was reading, called ‘M. De Brignac’. She found the name noble and registered it for use on a new wine in the future. It was long forgotten, and during the creation of this new tête de cuvée from the house in the early 2000s, Jean-Jacques decided to pay tribute to his mother by adopting this special name.

Each bottle of Armand de Brignac is coated in metal, finished with the hand application of French pewter labels and polished. Only 20 bottles can be completed per person per hour in the winery, and as a result, no two bottles are the same.

Grape Varietals: 

50% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier

Tasting Notes:

Freshly baked biscuits on the nose with a rich mouthfeel and notes of crystalized       citrus. The palate is full of orange blossom, peach, touch of lemon, vanilla, and honey. Lingering finish with refined acidity. 

Food Pairings:

Ideal as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with seared scallops, roasted quail and fresh water fish
