    Tasting Notes:
    Beautiful pale gold Chardonnay Champagne produced in the traditional, old world style, from grape to glass. Bouquet is light and clear, with youthful fruit notes and floral  accents. Remarkably delicate and pure structure, with a bright, clear onset and long, lingering finish.  Overtly dry and crisp, with fine accents of the young Chardonnay grape and aromas of vanilla, citrus fruits, and dried apricots. A genuine expression of the soul of the Chardonnay fruit and a true experience of luxury

    Armand de Brignac Blanc de Blancs is a premier example of the sparkling style's most rare and enigmatic style, the 100%  Chardonnay Blanc de Blancs.  Grapes selected exclusively from Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards in the Le Marne region's Montagne de Reims and  Côte des Blancs terroirs

    Grape Variety:
    100% Chardonnay

    Dosage - 8 g/l

    Background Information:
    Armand de Brignac (also known as "Ace of Spades") is produced by the Cattier family estate, owners of Champagne vineyards since 1763 and recognized as one of the world's best Champagne producers by Robert Parker, Tom Stevenson, Jancis Robinson, and others.

    Bottled in limited quantities through traditional hand labour-intensive methods by a small staff of only eight people, overseen by father and son oenologues Jean-Jacques and Alexandre Cattier.

    The Grapes for the Brut Gold and Rosé cuvées are taken from three terroirs in the cradle of Champagne: the Marne department. These include the Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne and Côte des Blancs. The Blanc de Blancs cuvée is made solely of Chardonnay grapes from the Montagne de Reims and Côte des Blancs terroirs. All grapes are from villages rated Premier or Grand Cru. 

    Jean-Jacques & Alexandre Cattier have selected grapes from Armand de Brignac's own vineyards and from villages in the terroirs mentioned above, including Grand Cru villages Cramant, Avize, Oger, & Choully, and Premier Cru towns Ludes, Rilly-la-Montagne, Villers Allerand, Taissy, Villers Marmery, and Mareuil-sur-Ay for each bottling of Armand de Brignac. 

    The wine is a top fraction of the first cuvée pressing on our traditional Coquart press, used to extract the cuvée slowly and with the highest quality of juice. Each cuvée is a blend of three distinct vintages, allowing for more complexity, richness, and nuance of aromas than a comparable single-vintage wine.

    The Armand de Brignac bottles age in a gated section of the Cattier cellars, considered among the deepest in Champagne at more than 30 meters underground. This ensures a low, constant temperature conducive to slow ageing. Remuage (riddling) is done entirely by hand on traditional wooden racks, over a period of 30-45 days. After disgorgement, the Champagne is rested for at least an additional 6 months before bottles can be released.

    Each Armand de Brignac cuvée includes a unique liqueur de dosage aged 9 months in oak casks, previously used for ageing Burgundy Chardonnay.
