Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Blanc de Blancs

100% Chardonnay. The purest, most delicate expression in the Armand de Brignac range — in the iconic Ace of Spades silver bottle.

Armand de Brignac is produced by the Cattier family in Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims — a family with over 250 years of Champagne-making history. The brand rose to global prominence after Jay-Z famously featured it in a 2006 music video, and he later acquired a stake in the house. Today it is one of the most recognized luxury Champagne brands in the world, positioned at the top tier of prestige cuvées alongside Cristal and Dom Pérignon.

The Blanc de Blancs is the most refined expression in the range — produced exclusively from Chardonnay, which is the grape that defines Champagne's most elegant, mineral, and citrus-forward profile. Where the Brut Gold (the flagship blend) incorporates all three Champagne grapes for richness and complexity, the Blanc de Blancs is all precision and purity: fine bubbles, crisp acidity, and a clean finish that rewards the kind of attention you give to very good wine.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Brilliant pale gold with fine, persistent bubbles and an elegant mousse.
• Aroma: Pure and citrus-forward — white flowers, green apple, lemon zest, and a subtle mineral note.
• Palate: Clean, effervescent, and elegantly structured — fresh citrus, green apple, brioche, and a crystalline acidity that defines great Blanc de Blancs.
• Finish: Long and refreshing — mineral and citrus notes persisting through a clean, elegant close.

The Bottle

The Ace of Spades silver bottle is one of the most recognizable vessels in the Champagne category. The pewter finish, the embossed Ace of Spades motif, and the hand-applied label make it as much a display object as a wine. It arrives in presentation packaging appropriate for significant gifts and occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Blanc de Blancs Champagne? Blanc de Blancs is Champagne made exclusively from white grapes — in this case 100% Chardonnay. It is typically lighter, crisper, and more mineral than a Brut blend, with less of the richness that Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier contribute. It is considered the most elegant and food-friendly style in Champagne.
• How does the Blanc de Blancs differ from the Armand de Brignac Brut Gold? The Brut Gold (the flagship Ace of Spades) blends all three classic Champagne grapes — Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier — for richness, complexity, and depth. The Blanc de Blancs uses only Chardonnay, producing a purer, more delicate, and more citrus-forward profile.
• Is Armand de Brignac a prestige cuvée? Yes — it is positioned alongside Cristal and Dom Pérignon at the top tier of luxury Champagne. The Cattier family has over 250 years of Champagne production history. The brand's association with Jay-Z and its distinctive bottle design have made it one of the most recognized names in the category globally.
• What occasions is the Blanc de Blancs suited for? Any occasion where elegance and presentation matter — weddings, celebrations, significant milestones, or corporate gifting. The Ace of Spades bottle is immediately recognizable and signals genuine luxury.
