Armand de Brignac 'Ace of Spades' Brut Rosé, MV
Please note that this champagne is offered without gift box. Armand de Brignac, often referred to as the "Ace of Spades" due to its iconic bottle design, is a prestigious Champagne brand produced by the Cattier family, since 1763, in the Montagne de Reims region. Their Champagnes are crafted from a blend of three vintages, combining freshness, depth, and complexity. Featuring a high percentage (55%) of Pinot Noir, the Brut Rosé has a balanced, creamy texture with notes of red berries, citrus, and hints of blackcurrant, complemented by soft tannins and a crisp acidity. Enjoy it as an apéritif or pair with truffled veal, duck confit, or seafood, and wild salmon.
Henri Giraud, MV20 Aÿ Grand Cru, MV (Magnum)
As usual MV is 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, all from grand cru vineyards – fermented in oak from the nearby Argonne forest, which is a signature of the maison. The base wine from the 2020 vintage is blended with one third reserve wine from Giraud’s réserve perpétuelle, a solera which began in 1990. Jancis Robinson compared a previous vintage to “ A sort of Montrachet of Champagne! ” whilst Galloni said they are “ Some of the most unique, individualistic wines in Champagne… At their best, the Giraud Champagnes offer incredible intensity, class and balance. ” Meanwhile Robert Parker famously claimed, “ This is the way I think Krug SHOULD taste ”.
