An Elegant Chardonnay with Power and Finesse.
The Armand de Brignac Blanc de Blancs reveals so much about the unique terroir of Champagne. The 100% Chardonnay cuvée is crafted from fruit sourced from traditional Chardonnay territory, the Côte des Blancs. However, almost half of the blend is from Chardonnay sourced from Montagne de Reims, which provides suppleness, roundness and lightness, giving even greater potential for aging. The resulting Blanc de Blancs has a delicate fruit character combined with a unique power and structure.
TASTING NOTES
The first aromas of lightly buttered, baked pastry are followed by notes of pear, hazelnut and a hint of gingerbread. On the palate, flavors of exotic fruits such as guava, gooseberry and peach are complemented by sweet spice notes of cinnamon and vanilla. Fresh, mineral finish.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Beautiful paired with carpaccio of shellfish or scallops, sashimi, grilled sea bass or a light cheese.
