An even more prestigious and ultimate luxury Champagne than their famous “Ace of Spades” Gold Brut, which sells locally for $200 less than this.
It also comes in a really cool velvet bag.
Dunnuck rates this the best of their range, above even their special $1200 bottling, saying:
A rich salmon color with an orange tinge, the NV Champagne Rosé is 55% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay. With this release, Armand de Brignac made a change to the blend, with 50% from 2018, 25% each from 2017 and 2012, and the addition of 15% Pinot Noir still wine. Opening in the glass, it’s floral in its aromatics, with a lifted perfume of wild strawberry, wet stone, and fresh flowers. It gains in intensity on the palate, with a darker profile noted by black cherry liqueur, a pillowy mousse, a long finish, and a well-balanced structure.
The Robb Report says:
This prestigious cuvée promises an evening of elegance even before the Armand de Brignac Rosé’s ($450) elegant, black lacquered case is opened. Inside, the metallic pink bottle, with its hand-applied pewter signature Ace of Spades logo, contains a richly-colored rosé composed of 50 percent Pinot Noir, 40 percent Pinot Meunier, and 10 percent Chardonnay, with floral and black fruit essences made even more prominent by a slight addition of Pinot Noir still wine in the final blend. This is a rosé that can easily embrace an entrée of truffled veal or a smoked salmon and caviar paté.
Also named “Best Rosé Champagne in the World” by Tastingbook.com.
Maybe not an everyday drink, but definitely one that will impress.
