Armand de Brignac, Ace of Spades, Gold Brut

Armand de Brignac, Sparkling Champagne, Year Unknown

Armand de Brignac, often known as "Ace of Spades", is a suite of exquisite champagnes born in the heart of France. These bubbling delights are crafted with utmost care in the traditional Méthode Champenoise by Champagne Cattier, a family-owned winery deeply rooted in the Champagne region.

This brand gained fame through the promotional efforts of music mogul Jay-Z, who later became a stakeholder. However, the reputation of Armand de Brignac extends far beyond celebrity endorsement, as it is renowned for its superior quality and craftsmanship.

The producer offers an array of cuvées, including Brut Gold, Rosé, Demi Sec, and Blanc de Blancs. Each variant is housed in an eye-catching metallic bottle adorned with a pewter label.

The alluring aroma of peach, apricot, and red berries greets the senses first, soon followed by the scents of crystallized citrus, orange blossom, and a hint of brioche. Upon tasting, the palate is overwhelmed by an array of flavors, including cherries, exotic fruits, a touch of lemon, vanilla, and honey. The unique dosage of Armand de Brignac, aged for a year in French oak barrels, imparts a soft and creamy mouthfeel with a hint of toastiness.
