Bearing the recognizable Ace of Spades insignia on its bottle, Armand de Brignac boasts three prestige cuvées – Brut Gold, Rosé and Blanc de Blancs – each reflecting the discerning tastes of those who desire the finer things in life. The metallic bottle, inspired by famed French fashion designer André Courrèges, is crafted entirely by hand, featuring the insignias and hand-applied pewter labels. The bottle is presented in a black wooden case embossed with the Champagne’s royal crest, lined in velvet and fitted with an engraved nameplate. Armand de Brignac is truly an experience of luxury.
