Armand de Brignac's Ace of Spades is quite possibly the world's most prestigious non-vintage Champagne and a favourite of rapper Jay-Z (so you know it's good - he's used to the finer things). At one blind tasting, Armand de Brignac was voted the best Champagne in the world! The labels for the bottle are made of real pewter, which is polished and applied by hand...
Aromatic and rich with notes of brioche, creamy vanilla, racy, peppy red fruit and fresh floral notes.
Silky and very thick, with notes of toasted brioche with butter and apricot jam. Spiced and warming.
Subtle hints of vanilla and peach linger.
Fantastic on the Money ?????
It's horrible but it's shiny that's it
Like Elvis to pink Cadillacs, America's formerly poor are often attracted to bright shiny objects, as Jay-Z apparently is to this gauche presentation of a decent champagne. I'm glad for his success, but I wouldn't take his tastes in this any more seriously than I would Janis Joplin's predilection for Southern Comfort. It's still Southern Comfort, after all, and this is one butt-ugly bottle and box. What's inside has equals, even betters--and all with less garish marketing.
