Description
| Notes | |||
| "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 mouth feel 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." —winemaker |
| Critical Acclaim | |||
| "The refinement of the bubbles and impeccable pale color brought James Bond to mind for one taster, 'the new Bond, the blond Bond.' The comment generated a flurry of critical reviews from the panelists: 'This is more Timothy Dalton: polished, looks good, but doesn't have a lot to say.' 'This is more like Gregory Peck: It has nothing to prove.' 'Burt Lancaster in A Wild Thing.' 'Clooney on ER before he got polished...' This is a bold and powerful wine that holds its balance. Driven by scents of brioche and chalk, along with intense acidity, it should develop well with several years of bottle age." —Wine & Spirits Magazine "Bright gold with a strong bead. Highly perfumed bouquet displays pear, nectarine, honeysuckle and sweet butter, plus an undercurrent of spice, ginger and lemon pith adding energy. Fleshy pit fruit and soft citrus flavors provide very good palate coverage and offer pungent spice and candied floral qualities on the back end. Nervy minerality adds lift and cut to the long, gently smoky and subtly sweet finish, which leaves candied orange peel and floral notes behind." —Vinous |
