Armand de Brignac
Armand de Brignac (also known as ‘Ace of Spades’) is produced by the Cattier family estate, owners of Champagne vineyards since 1763 and recognised as one of the world’s best Champagne producers by Robert Parker, Tom Stevenson, Jancis Robinson and others.
Rated the world’s No.1 Champagne in a blind tasting competition of 1,000 Champagne brands, ahead of every other Champagne brand in the world. (Fine Champagne Magazine – published November 2009).
The Brut Gold is pressed from a perfectly balanced blend containing Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier wine. On the palate, Armand de Brignac has a sumptuous, racy fruit character that is perfectly integrated with the wine's subtle brioche accents. Marvellously complex and full-bodied, with a bouquet that is both fresh and lively. The Champagne's texture is deliciously creamy, with great depth paired with a long, silky finish. A superb and singular example of a Prestige Champagne. A complex yet sharply focused Brut.
Pale lemony colour. Smooth peach nose with pear and floral notes. Complex with mineral smokiness, restraint, honey and spicy finesse. Creamy, foamy palate with good freshness and tropical fruit. Linear with compact fruit and wonderful length. Enjoyable today but there is great potential ahead.
6 x 750ml.
