Armand de Brignac's Ace of Spades Brut Gold is the flagship cuvée, a non-vintage blend that often incorporates a trio of vintages from some of Champagne's most acclaimed terroirs. Each bottle is a work of art, meticulously coated in metal with French pewter labels applied by hand, ensuring that no two bottles are exactly alike. This artisanal process allows only 20 bottles to be completed per person per hour. The Champagne house is also renowned for possessing the most extensive collection of large format bottles among prestige Champagne houses. A distinctive feature is its dosage, which is aged for one year in French oak barrels, contributing to its unique character. On the nose, this Champagne offers enticing aromas of peach, apricot, red berry, crystallised citrus, orange blossom, and hints of brioche. The palate is rich and luxurious, layered with flavours of cherries, exotic fruits, lemon, vanilla, and honey. It delivers a soft, creamy mouthfeel, with a subtle hint of toastiness from its unique dosage. Some reviews also note orchard fruit, grapefruit, lychee, pear, and light spice. 【 Iconic metal-coated bottle with hand-applied pewter labels 】 🍴 Food pairing suggestions: This versatile Champagne is ideal as an aperitif.
