Champagne has a ``special feeling'', but Armand de Brignac stands out among them. It is also famous as a champagne loved by celebrities around the world.
Armand de Brignac is a champagne made by the Cattier family, a champagne house. The history of the Cattier family begins in 1625 when they began growing grapes in the French village of Chigny-les-Rosées. For generations, the family has cultivated grapes. In 2000, Jean-Jacques Cattier, the 12th generation head of the family, and Alexandre Cattier, the 13th generation, aimed to "create the highest quality champagne" and after repeated trial and error, Armand de Brignac was born in 2006.
This Blanc de Blancs is Armand de Brignac's first champagne made exclusively from Chardonnay. We use approximately half Chardonnay from the traditional Chardonnay regions of Côte de Blancs and Montagne de Reims.
The aroma has notes of pear, hazelnut, cinnamon and vanilla spice. Furthermore, it has a rich aroma with overlapping aromas of gingerbread and baked goods. The palate has hints of guava, gooseberry and peach, as well as a lively minerality. A supple and elegant champagne.
