Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Gold Brut, Champagne

Produced by the Cattier family from Chigny-les-Roses, France. This prestige Champagne has won praise from wine critics and connoisseurs across the globe, culminating with the recent selection of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold as the No. 1 Champagne in the World in a blind taste-test of 1,000 brands.

Jancis Robinson one of the world's most famous wine critics comments, "Armand de Brignac Brut Gold is extremely dense with a very stimulatingly tight bead. It’s tense and refreshing with scents in the floral vegetation spectrum followed by real precision on the palate".

Each label is made from real pewter and applied by hand.

Armand de Brignac Champagne represents unmatched winemaking expertise and a true passion for the art of Champagne.

In 2010 it was rated first in the World in a blind tasting of 1,000 brand. José Penin gave it 98 points out of a possible 100 (his highest ever rating for a Champagne) and Jancis Robinson, among many others, praised this Champagne.

Produced by the Cattier family, owners of Champange vineyards since 1763, and crafted entirely by hand by a staff of just eight people, overseen by father-and-son oenologists Jean-Jacques and Alexandre Cattier.

Armand de Brignac is made exclusively from Premier Cru and Grand Cru grapes from the Montagne de Reims, Cote des Blancs, and the Vallee de la Marne terroirs.

Each of the cuvées is a blend of three outstanding vintage years.

Armand de Brignac bottles age in a gated section of Champagne Cattier's cellars, considered among the deepest in Champagne at more than 30 metres underground.

Remuage (riddling) is carried out by hand on traditional wooden racks, taking 30-45 days. After remuage and dégorgement, the bottles are aged for at least a further six months before release.

Each cuvée includes a special liqueur de dosage aged for nine months in oak casks from Burgundy
