Tasting Notes For Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Brut Gold w/ Gift Box
*** Extra verification measures may be taken on purchases of this wine ***
The first release from Armand de Brignac, the Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range. Rich with the old world traditions of champagne blending, it is a trio of vintages from some of the most lauded terroirs in the region, resulting in a prestige cuvée that expresses vibrant fresh fruit character, and layers of complexity.
Peach, apricot and red berry aromas are followed by crystalized citrus, orange blossom and hints of brioche. The palate is rich with cherries, exotic fruits and a touch of lemon, vanilla and honey. The mouth feel is soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness, from the unique Armand de Brignac dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels. Drinking beautifully now or can be rested under ideal cellaring conditions, until 2025.
Ideal as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with seared scallops, roasted quail and fresh water fish.
Blend: 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Meunier
Critic Ratings
This non-vintage Brut opens with Anjou pear, dried apricot, yellow apple and buttery pastry, with almond paste in the background. The palate is medium to full-bodied, expressive and fruit-driven, supported by vibrant acidity. It is harmonious and generous through the finish.
Orchard fruit and grapefruit lead the aromatic profile. The medium-bodied palate has a creamy texture, with lychee, pear and light spice adding detail. Fresh fruit and a gently spicy finish remain in balance.
Wine Spectator awarded this non-vintage Champagne 92 points. The rating supports its standing as a polished luxury cuvée with broad critical appeal. It joins two other 92-point reviews for the same bottling.
A blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier and Pinot Noir, this Champagne is ripe and well balanced. Toasty complexity enriches its apple and lemon fruit. The mature profile is generous without losing freshness.
