Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades, the Champagne That Owns the Room
Armand de Brignac, known to everyone as the Ace of Spades, is the most visually striking champagne on the table. It’s a gleaming metallic gold bottle finished with a hand applied pewter ace of spades label. It is the pure statement gift, the bottle that gets photographed before it gets poured. It is the one people remember.
Behind the flash is a real champagne house. Armand de Brignac is made by the Cattier family, long established growers in Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims. This is a genuine Champagne, not a celebrity label with nothing behind it. The brand was bought outright by Jay-Z in 2014. In 2021 he sold half of it to Moet Hennessy while keeping the other half. It is now co-owned by Jay-Z and one of the great luxury houses.
The flagship Brut Gold is a blend of the three classic Champagne grapes, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier. The metallic bottle with its hand fitted pewter label makes it unmistakable across a crowded room.
What makes it exceptional:
- A metallic gold bottle with a hand applied pewter ace of spades label.
- Made by the Cattier family, a genuine grower Champagne house.
- Co-owned by Jay-Z and Moet Hennessy.
- A Brut blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.
- The ultimate statement and celebration bottle.
In the glass it is generous and expressive, with white peach and apricot, and red berry. There’s a touch of orange blossom and brioche, and a fine, persistent mousse. It is a champagne built to celebrate out loud, which is exactly what makes it such a memorable gift.
Serve it ice cold and let the bottle do the talking, because it will. Few gifts make an entrance like a gleaming gold bottle carried to the table. Fewer still back the spectacle with a champagne this generous and this well made. It is built for the moment when everyone in the room is watching.
It is a natural for a milestone celebration, a nightlife moment, or a sports and entertainment fan. It also suits any flex that deserves the bottle to be the gift. Add a personal note at checkout to complete the gift.
