Heritage
The Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs A4 is the fourth release in the maison’s most exclusive series, crafted entirely from 100% Pinot Noir grapes sourced from premier and grand cru villages, including Chigny-les-Roses, Verzenay, Rilly-la-Montagne, Verzy, Ludes, Mailly Champagne, and Ville-sur-Arce in the Aube region.
This multi-vintage cuvée blends the 2013, 2014, and 2015 harvests, aged for 7 years on lees before disgorgement on April 20, 2023. Each of the 7,328 individually numbered bottles is a testament to the house’s dedication to craftsmanship and rarity.

Craftsmanship
Armand de Brignac, also known as "Ace of Spades," is a prestigious Champagne brand produced by the Cattier family, 13th-generation winemakers in the Montagne de Reims region. The brand gained global recognition through its association with music mogul Jay-Z, who later acquired the brand. In 2021, LVMH acquired a 50% stake, further cementing its status in the luxury market.
