Product Information: Armand de Brignac is produced by Armand de Brignac Champagne of Reims, France. The Cattier family has owned and cultivated land in the Champagne region’s Montagne de Reims Terroir since 1763, and coined the Armand de Brignac name in the 1950s. In our search for a Champagne that would meet our standards for a finer luxury Champagne, we chose the Cattier house because of their history and reputation for producing exquisite Champagne. M. Cattier was able to create a blend of grapes that fit what we had sought. Armand de Brignac bottles are filled, corked, and cultivated by hand by our caretakers throughout the aging process. The Armand de Brignac cellars are considered the deepest in the Reims Terroir.
THE BLEND
Armand contains a multi-vintage blend of the following grapes at these proportions:
-
33% Pinot Noir
-
33% Chardonnay
-
33% Pinot Menuier
TASTING NOTES
Armand de Brignac is marvelously complex and full-bodied, with a bouquet that is both fresh and lively. Its sumptuous, racy fruit character is perfectly integrated with the wine's subtle brioche accents. Its texture is deliciously creamy and the palate has great depth and impact with a long and silky finish. A superb and singular example of a Prestige Champagne.
THE BOTTLE
Armand de Brignac is packaged in a stunning gold bottle originally developed by Cattier for the André Courrèges fashion house. Cattier’s gold bottle also made an appearance at Queen Elizabeth II of England’s Golden Jubilee celebration. All labels for each bottle of Armand de Brignac are made of real pewter, polished and applied by hand. Each bottle is packaged in a black embroidered velvet bag, which completes a package that speaks to the quality of the Armand de Brignac Champagne and the care taken with each step of its realization.
CHAMPAGNE ROSÉ and BLANC de BLANCS
A Champagne Rosé, in a striking pink-gold bottle embossed with matching pewter labels, is currently maturing in the Armand de Brignac cellars. A Blanc de Blancs addition to the Armand de Brignac line, featuring a silver hand-dipped bottle with complementary antique silver labels, will also be released upon maturity.
