The first release from Armand de Brignac, the Brut Gold remains the most iconic cuvée in the range. Rich with the old-world traditions of champagne blending, it is a trio of vintages from some of the most lauded terroirs in the region, resulting in a prestige cuvée that expresses vibrant fresh fruit character, and layers of complexity.
Peach, apricot, and red berry aromas are followed by crystalized citrus, orange blossom, and hints of brioche. The palate is rich with cherries, exotic fruits, and a touch of lemon, vanilla,,, and honey. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy, with a hint of toastiness, from the unique Armand de Brignac dosage which is aged for one year in French oak barrels. Drinking beautifully now or can be rested under ideal cellaring conditions, until 2025.
This is a three-way assemblage: three grape varieties – an equal percentage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 20% of Pinot Meunier – and a blend of 3 vintages, 2009, 2010, and 2012. The nose is full of flavors and rich with notes of white flowers and crème patissière. However, the palate is crisp, fresh, and delicate with a lovely creamy texture. It is elegant, refined, and very stylish (unlike the bottle!). It’s a pleasant combination of power and concentration blended with finesse and elegance. While the dosage is 9g/l, it feels much drier, more like a 5g/l, and this is probably due to the spinal cord’s acidity.
