The story of Armand de Brignac Ace of Spade

Armand de Brignac is made by Cattier, a family Champagne house based in Chigny-les-Roses on the Montagne de Reims, with its cellars at Rilly-la-Montagne. The Cattier family has grown vines in Chigny-les-Roses since 1625. The Brut Gold, the metallic gold bottle most people call Ace of Spades, was the first cuvée, and its first bottles left the cellars in 2006.

The blend is 40 percent Chardonnay, 40 percent Pinot Noir and 20 percent Pinot Meunier, and every cuvée in the range blends three vintages. The bottle is part of the product: each one is metallised and finished with a hand-applied French pewter label. In the glass it is bright golden yellow with fine bubbles, and the nose runs to yellow fruit, citrus zest, orange blossom, honey and brioche. The palate is creamy and rich with a mineral edge and a long finish.

Serve it at 10 to 12 degrees. White meats, fish tartare or carpaccio, vegetable risotto and steamed crustaceans all match its weight.
