The family, owners of Champagne vineyards since 1763, craft Armand de Brignac entirely by hand with a staff of just eight people, including our father-and-son winemakers. Only 20 bottles can be completed per person per hour in the winery, and as a result, no two bottles are the same. In 2006, Armand de Brignac unveiled its first cuvée, Brut Gold, a unique and prestigious wine that boasts the excellence of Champagne.

They also do not hold themselves to the'Cru' system selecting plots regardless of their rating but rather for their flavour and quality. Armand de Brignac has the most extensive collection of large format bottles of any prestige champagne house.Armand de Brignac's unmistakable gold-plated bottle has its roots in the French fashion industry and its reputation for opulence. The mouth feel is nothing short of soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness, from the unique Ace of Spades dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels.

Full of vibrant and heady red fruits, citrus and brioche, this is a layered and complex prestige cuvée with an iconic look. The metallized bottle and French pewter label with its ace of spades design is instantly recognisable.This cuvée can be enjoyed immediately, and is perfect at anytime with gastronomic meals of your choice.

The Champagne's texture is deliciously creamy, featuring great depth paired with a long, silky finish.

This is the third bottle delivered as the first was damaged on the gold glass, the second the display box was very badly scratched the third was ok. On closer inspection I found that the screws could not be tightened any further into the lid either! The first release from Champagne Armand de Brignac, the Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range. It is a glass of marvellously complex and full-bodied champagne, its bouquet is both fresh and lively with light floral notes.
