Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Rose Champagne
12th and 13th generation wine growers, Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son, Alexandre, craft the prestige cuvées of Armand de Brignac. Their dream was to create a champagne of the most exceptional quality, that would represent the best of the best from the region, where their family have grown vines for more than 250 years. The Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Rose Champagne is crafted with Pinot Noir from old vines, planted in the Montagne de Reims, that produce fruit with powerful flavour intensity. The resulting cuvée features bright, fresh layers of red fruits, complemented by hints of baked pastry aromas. Strawberry, currants and cherry on the nose, with floral hints and a touch of sweet almond. The red grape dominance brings a structured palate filled with black fruits, cherries and hints of baked pastry. Ideal as an aperitif or pairs well with truffled veal, duck confit and wild salmon. Note - this item does not come with a gift box.
