Tasting Notes: Elegant and bright antique rose, with fine and persistent perlage. Articulate and complex on the nose, it reveals hints of red berries, ginger, bread crust and aromatic herbs. The palate is guided by a powerful lightness, beautiful balance and excellent length.
 
Pairings: To be reserved for the most important and refined aperitifs, it is perfect in combination with Parma ham.
 
The Cellar: From 1763 until 2014 Armand de Brignac was owned by the Cattier family. Since 2014, ownership has passed to the well-known rapper and artist Jay-Z. Among the rows, the agronomic practices adopted are respectful of the environment and ecosystem, while the cellar rooms, underground for over thirty metres, guarantee ideal conditions for the aging of Champagne. Armand de Brignac is characterized by a production that is always a blend of three different vintages: the scrupulous selection of the grapes guarantees the fruity character of the wine, a finely balanced softness and acidity. A bottle of Armand de Brignac passes through the hands of no more than 18 highly qualified people throughout the entire production process. The bottles are metal-coated and finished by polishing and hand-applying French pewter labels. Each employee can make a maximum of twenty bottles per hour and no two examples are the same.
