Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son Alexandre are tenth- and eleventh-generation champagne growers. They produce the prestige cuvées of Armand de Brignac. Their dream is to produce top-quality champagne that combines the very best of the region. The family has over 250 years of experience working the Champagne vineyards and can therefore call themselves experts in selecting the finest grapes. The Champagne House now owns 33 hectares of vineyards. This Brut Gold is the first champagne released by Champagne House Armand de Brignac. This Brut is a blend of 40 percent Pinot Noir, 40 percent Chardonnay, and 20 percent Pinot Meunier.
Armand de Brignac Brut is complex and powerful with light floral hints, a fruity character, and subtle brioche notes. On the nose, we detect peach, apricot, and red berries, followed by aromas of citrus and orange blossom. It boasts rich flavors of exotic fruit, cherry, and a hint of lemon, vanilla, and honey. Overall, this Brut Gold has a wonderfully deep structure, is creamy, and has a long finish. A complex Champagne with a clear signature. It is perfect for drinking now, but patient connoisseurs who appreciate Champagne with a more developed character can easily let it age for a few years.
