Armand de Brignac Ace of Spades Brut 3L (3L, 12.5%)

A prestige cuvée Champagne in a 3-litre Jeroboam format, bottled at 12.5% ABV. It is an assemblage of three harvests blending 40% Pinot Noir, 40% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Meunier, all hand-harvested and gently pressed using a traditional Coquart press. The dosage liqueur incorporates base wine aged for one year in new French oak barrels. The nose opens with white blossoms, fresh citrus, ripe peach, apricot, brioche, crystallized orange peel and red berries. The palate is fine-bubbled and creamy, with peach, cherry, toast, vanilla, exotic fruit, honey and spice. The finish is long and silky, with refined minerality and lemon zest.
