Brut Gold NV
Intro: Known worldwide as “Ace of Spades” due to its unmistakable metallic gold bottle with a pewter spade emblem. Produced by the Cattier family, a Champagne house with over 250 years of winemaking heritage. Bottles are made by hand: the metallic finish is polished and labels are hand-applied, meaning no two bottles are exactly alike. Featured in Forbes, Rolling Stone, and Wine Spectator as one of the most luxurious Champagnes on the market.

Tasting Notes: The Armand de Brignac Brut Gold NV is bold, luxurious, and finely textured. The bouquet reveals aromas of peach, apricot, and red currant, layered with notes of citrus zest, brioche, and acacia blossom. On the palate, it is rich and creamy yet vibrant, offering flavors of ripe stone fruit, apple, and pear complemented by hints of honey, vanilla, and toast. The fine mousse provides elegance and lift, while a subtle mineral backbone ensures balance. The finish is long, silky, and opulent, a signature prestige cuvée Champagne that combines power, freshness, and refinement.
