Description

The elegance, complexity, and power of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne

The estate

Heirs to 250 years of winemaking history, Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son, Alexandre, are the craftsmen behind the cuvées of the Champagne House Armand de Brignac. Designed by André Courrèges, the estate's cuvée bottles stand out for their bold design, remarkable proportions, and the iconic Ace of Spades engraved on a French pewter label.

Each day, only about twenty bottles are meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the estate’s artisanal approach.

The vineyard

Armand de Brignac cuvées are crafted from HVE 3 certified vineyards located on prestigious Champagne crus.

The wine

In keeping with the old blending tradition in Champagne, this cuvée, produced since 2008, brings together three vintages (2009, 2010, and 2012).

Sourced from vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, this modern luxury champagne is housed in an opaque bottle coated with a layer of metal. The bottle is adorned with a French pewter label, meticulously applied by hand, showcasing the “Ace of Spades,” the brand’s iconic symbol.

The dosage for this champagne is 8 grams per liter.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvest. Only the Cuvée is kept to craft this champagne, developing a smooth texture and balanced acidity. During disgorgement, the addition of a liqueur de tirage made from the finest base wine of the harvest, aged for 1 year in French oak barrels, imparts a delicious complexity with pastry, toasted, and vanilla notes.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
