Ace of Spades Champagne

Earlier this week, the rapper Jay Z, acquired the Armand de Brignac champagne brand for an undisclosed amount from Sovereign Brands. Thechampagne, made in the town of Chigny-les-Roses, comes in a gold bottle embossed with a logo from a deck of cards (hence its nickname of Ace of Spades).

The Armand de Brignac Brut Gold is the label’s flagship cuveé, pressed from a perfectly balanced blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier wine. This non-vintage Brut Gold is lively and full-bodied with “subtle brioche accents” tending to a deliciously creamy texture and a “long, silky finish.”

The gold Armand de Brignac bottle was unveiled in 2006 and originally developed by Cattier for the André Courrèges fashion house in France. In 2014, rapper Jay Z acquired the luxury Champagne brand for an undisclosed amount.
