Made up of the three towns Reims, Épernay, and Aÿ, it was here that the traditional method of sparkling wine production was both invented and perfected, birthing a winemaking technique as well as a flavor profile that is now emulated worldwide. In order to bear the label, ‘Champagne’, a sparkling wine must originate from this northeastern region of France-called Champagne-and adhere to strict quality standards. Rich with the old-world tradition of champagne blending, it is a trio of vintages from some of the most lauded terroirs of the region, resulting in a cuvée expressing vibrant and fresh fruit character with a soft texture.Īssociated with luxury, celebration, and romance, the region, Champagne, is home to the world’s most prized sparkling wine. The Ace of Spades Brut Gold is the Armand de Brignac’s first release and most iconic cuvée. Robert Parker's Guide of French Wines rates Cattier as "excellent – among the best producers of Champagne." Centuries spent perfecting the art of Champagne are put to use in each Armand de Brignac cuvée. The Cattier cellars are among the oldest and deepest in Champagne, with three styles of architecture represented in the caverns: Gothic, Renaissance, and Roman Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades champagne is aged in a special, gated section of the deepest part of these cellars, 119 steps underground.
Patriarch Jean-Jacques Cattier oversees the Chateau's wine production with strictly limited annual yields, Cattier and his staff can ensure that the family's artisanal winemaking traditions are kept alive in each bottle of Ace of Spades champagne. Today, the house remains independently owned and run by the family with a staff of less than 20 people. Known popularly as the “Ace of Spades”, Armand de Brignac was founded in 1763 by the Cattier family in a tiny Champagne village in the Montagne de Reims.
