Champagne Armand de Brignac has announced the US debut of its Blanc de Noirs Assemblage Three (A3). It is the third assemblage of its ultra-prestige cuvee.The highly anticipated launch follows the inaugural blend, awarded #1 Blanc de Noirs champagne in the world in 2016. A blind tasting of 250 cuvees as part of the annual rankings by FINE Champagne Magazine and Tastingbook.com, and the Blanc de Noirs Assemblage Two (A2) was held and it received 96 points from Decanter Magazine.Only 3,535 bottles of Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs A3 have been created and were introduced on April 9, 2019, after resting on lees for six years.It has been produced by 13th-generation champagne growers, the Cattier family. According to Champagne Armand de Brignac, “the cuvee is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir grapes carefully sourced from some of the best Pinot Noir producing villages in the Montagne de Reims including Bouzy, Verzenay, Chigny-les-Roses, Ludes, and Rilly-la-Montagne.” Only the first and freshest portion of the cuvee press is used to create the Blanc de Noirs A3, a winemaking signature of all the Armand de Brignac champagnes. “Altogether, this trio produces a whole far greater than the sum of its parts, a bouquet that is rich and complex with notes of apricot, blackberry, and gingerbread.”“The Blanc de Noirs A3 is an extraordinarily gourmet wine with richness, intensity, and length but it is not too heavy, as some can be,” says Chef de Cave, Jean-Jacques Cattier. “This wine is in harmony with its duality; think sugar and salt pairings with spice, richness, and sweetness. Pair this cuvee with Foie Gras, tagine of lamb or a roast chicken with cranberry sauce.”Every bottle is inscribed with its unique number (1 to 3,535), in addition to its disgorgement date. This highlights the rarity, exclusivity, and collectability of this ultra-prestige cuvee.A signature mark of all Armand de Brignac cuvees, each dark metalized bottle of Blanc de Noirs A3 is finished by hand and then applied with a French pewter label. Then a final hand polishing is done before being placed in a handcrafted wooden lacquered gift box.The limited number of bottles of Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Assemblage Three are available at fine wine stores in select cities globally, including Sherry Lehmann, Mel and Rose and Wine.com in the US and priced at 750ml MSRP: USD $1,000.For more details, visit: www.armanddebrignac.com https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
