A bright silver/yellow color, the NV Champagne Blanc De Blancs Brut is subtle and floral on the nose, with aromas of powdery flowers, lime blossoms, crisp green apple, and flinty earth. The palate is vibrant and energetic, with a spritely, fine mousse, a soft, chalky texture, and a mouthwatering finish. I really enjoyed the crisp profile it retains, and it should have a wide drinking window over the coming 10 or so years.

Wine Enthusiast

Roger Voss

In its silver-coated bottle with the “Ace of Spades” logo, this is a crisp, mineral-driven wine, full of acidity and with a bright character on the dry side of brut. Young with layers of apple fruits, it will age. Drink now for the fruit or keep for maturity from 2018. This is one of five Champagnes by entrepreneur and rapper Jay Z under the Armand de Brignac Empire brand that is produced by the Cattier family, in Champagne since 1763.

Description

The elegance, complexity, and power of a Blanc de Blancs Champagne

The estate

Heirs to 250 years of winemaking history, Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son, Alexandre, are the craftsmen behind the cuvées of the Champagne House Armand de Brignac. Designed by André Courrèges, the estate's cuvée bottles stand out for their bold design, remarkable proportions, and the iconic Ace of Spades engraved on a French pewter label.

Each day, only about twenty bottles are meticulously handcrafted, reflecting the estate’s artisanal approach.

The vineyard

Armand de Brignac cuvées are crafted from HVE 3 certified vineyards located on prestigious Champagne crus.

The wine

In keeping with the old blending tradition in Champagne, this cuvée, produced since 2008, brings together three vintages (2009, 2010, and 2012).

Sourced from vineyards in the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims, this modern luxury champagne is housed in an opaque bottle coated with a layer of metal. The bottle is adorned with a French pewter label, meticulously applied by hand, showcasing the “Ace of Spades,” the brand’s iconic symbol.

The dosage for this champagne is 8 grams per liter.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvest. Only the Cuvée is kept to craft this champagne, developing a smooth texture and balanced acidity. During disgorgement, the addition of a liqueur de tirage made from the finest base wine of the harvest, aged for 1 year in French oak barrels, imparts a delicious complexity with pastry, toasted, and vanilla notes.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).
