The Cattier family lives on the Montagne de Reims and owns 33 hectares of vineyards in the villages of Rilly-la-Montagne, Chigny-les-Roses, and Ludes. The family has over 250 years of experience producing the finest champagne. Armand de Brignac Rosé champagne is made with Pinot Noir from old vines planted in the Montagne de Reims, which produce intensely flavorful fruit. The blend consists of 50 percent Pinot Noir, 40 percent Pinot Meunier, and 10 percent Chardonnay. Only the first and freshest grapes are used. Careful selection and attention to detail give the juice its clear, fresh, and fruity character. They also use the blend of three vintages. All these facets create unique champagnes.
On the nose, this Armand de Brignac Rosé has aromas of strawberry and blackcurrant with a hint of citrus. The palate is truly fantastic, with such richness and suppleness. A rich bouquet with hints of red fruit is followed by light toasted notes on the finish. This Rosé is from the renowned Champagne house Armand de Brignac, which was recently named the world's best Champagne with 98 out of 100 points in a blind tasting of 1,000 different Champagne brands. Yes, indeed, a unique piece of work! This Rosé is ideal as an aperitif or paired with veal, duck, or wild salmon. It's delicious to drink now, but it can also age for ten to fifteen years to develop a richer and more developed character.
