Armand de Brignac
Armand de Brignac, colloquially known as Ace of Spades, is a French champagne brand owned by American rapper Jay-Z and French luxury goods conglomerate LVMH. The champagne is produced by Cattier and sold in opaque metallic bottles. Its first release, the Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, is distinguished by a gold bottle and French pewter Ace of Spades label.
Armand de Brignac champagnes are produced in a multi-vintage style. The Brut Gold cuvée is a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. In 2008, two additional cuvées were introduced: a Rosé and a Blanc de blancs (100% chardonnay).
In 2015, the brand expanded with the introduction of a Demi-sec and a Blanc de noirs (100% Pinot Noir).
The Cattier family started setting aside portions of reserve wines for a new ultra-premium Champagne project at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The first bottles of Armand de Brignac Brut Gold left the cellars in France in 2006.
The original "de Brignac" name was registered by the Cattier family in "the late 1940s or early 50s", according to Jean-Jacques Cattier. It was chosen at that time by his mother, who had been reading a novel featuring a character named de Brignac. Dormant for decades, the brand was revived for the new champagne after adding the name Armand. This was required by the French industry group Comité Interprofessionnel du vin de Champagne (CIVC) to avoid any confusion with the northwestern French village of Brignac, sitting just outside of the Champagne region itself. In November 2014 it was announced that the champagne brand had been bought by a company led by Jay-Z.
All champagnes in the portfolio are an assemblage of three vintages. There are five cuvées in the Armand de Brignac range:
Armand de Brignac Brut Gold is the flagship tête de cuvée from the 13th generation Montagne de Reims champagne growers, the Cattier family, the first bottles were released in 2006. The assemblage typically comprises 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay, and 20% Pinot Meunier.
Armand de Brignac Rosé was first introduced in 2008. The color comes from the inclusion of 12% of still red wine, harvested from old vines that produce fruit with great flavor intensity. The assemblage typically comprises 50% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay.
