Chosen to be featured at Le Moulin de Mougins on the French Riviera, home to the toughest critics in the Champagne world. Selected by Master Chef Jacques Chibois and Chief Sommelier Frèderic Brochem of La Bastide Saint Antoine as the featured wine for the two-Michelin star restaurant’s Christmas dinner. Presented by Warner Brothers to Oscar and Golden Globe winners. Requested for professional athletes and served at the Beckham’s party in Los Angeles, hosted by Will Smith, Tom Cruise, and Katie Holmes. Armand de Brignac is quickly becoming one of the most coveted Champagnes at the world’s hautest locales and most exclusive events.

With its gold-plating and handmade genuine pewter Ace of Spades label, the paperless Armand de Brignac bottle and the Champagne it holds represent luxurious indulgence. Bottled from the richest grapes from each harvest, Armand de Brignac is classified as a Prestige Cuvée, growing more complex and delicate as it ages. The Gold Brut blend is created from a perfect balance of 33 percent each of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier grapes. Originally conceived by the revolutionary designer André Courrèges, each gold-plated Armand de Brignac bottle is completely unique. The Champagne Rosé is shrouded in pink gold, while the Champagne Blanc de Blancs is covered in antique silver. The Gold Brut retails for $300, and the Rosé and Blanc de Blancs go for $500.
