A Bright and Expressive Trio of Vintages with Layers of Complexity
The first release from Armand de Brignac, the Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range. Rich with the old world traditions of champagne blending, it is a trio of vintages from some of the most lauded terroirs in the region, resulting in a prestige cuvée that expresses vibrant fresh fruit character, and layers of complexity.
ASSEMBLAGE
40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier. Multi-vintage
TASTING NOTES
Peach, apricot and red berry aromas are followed by crystallised citrus, orange blossom and hints of brioche. The palate is rich with cherries, exotic fruits and a touch of lemon, vanilla and honey. The mouth feel is soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness, from the unique Armand de Brignac dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Ideal as an aperitif or pairs perfectly with seared scallops, roasted quail and fresh water fish.
CELLARING POTENTIAL
Drinking beautifully now or can be rested under ideal cellaring conditions, until 2025.
