Blanc de Noirs Champagne | 12.5% ABV | 750mL | Champagne, France | 100% Pinot Noir | Multi-Vintage Prestige Cuvée | Limited Production
Process & Profile
Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Blanc de Noirs is an exceptionally limited prestige Champagne made exclusively from Pinot Noir grapes sourced from celebrated villages throughout Champagne. Each numbered assemblage combines multiple vintages selected to balance the grape’s natural power and structure with freshness, minerality, and aromatic complexity.
Extended maturation in the house cellars develops a richly textured profile of dark fruit, orchard fruit, citrus, toasted brioche, nuts, and mineral depth. The exact vintages, dosage, disgorgement date, and production quantity vary between assemblages, making each release a distinctive chapter in the Blanc de Noirs collection.

How to Enjoy
Serve Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Blanc de Noirs chilled at approximately 46–50°F in a tulip-shaped Champagne glass or white wine glass. The wider bowl allows its Pinot Noir fruit, pastry, toasted-nut, and mineral aromas to develop more fully than they would in a narrow flute.
Its combination of richness, acidity, and structure pairs particularly well with caviar, butter-poached lobster, scallops, roasted turbot, duck breast, lamb, venison, truffle risotto, wild mushrooms, aged Comté, or Parmigiano Reggiano. It can be enjoyed upon release or cellared under proper conditions for additional development.
