Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Ros – 750ml

Description

Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Ros is an elegant and delicious basket of red fruits, as described by Chef de Cave Jean-Jacques Cattier. The vibrant rose hue is achieved by the inclusion of slightly more than 15% still red wine, harvested from old Pinot Noir vines that yield fruit with remarkable flavor intensity. The current assemblage blends 50% Pinot Noir, 40% Pinot Meunier, and 10% Chardonnay, and is a trio of vintages: 2009, 2010, and 2012. On the nose, strawberry, currants, and cherry take the lead, supported by delicate floral nuances and a touch of sweet almond. The red grape dominance provides a structured palate, where black fruit flavorsblackberry and ripe cherryare complemented by hints of baked pastry and a subtle, bakery-inspired warmth. The Chardonnay contributes lift, finesse, and a lightness that keeps the wine buoyant and refined, ensuring a balanced finish. There is a gentle, persistent mousse that enhances the tactile experience without masking the fruit character, allowing the wines depth to unfold elegantly. Aromatic complexity grows with air, revealing mineral notes and a subtle mineral-yeast precision that underpins the fruit-forward profile. Overall, this Ros offers a cohesive harmony between richness and freshness, making it a versatile choice for celebrations or quiet pairings with grilled seafood, charcuterie, or fruit desserts.
