This Week’s Wednesday Wine

For this week’s Wednesday Wine, we’re featuring something truly special: Armand de Brignac Rosé Champagne.

Available August 12 through August 18 only, while supplies last. We have just two bottles available, so once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Armand de Brignac Rosé Champagne

There are bottles you buy for what’s inside, and bottles you buy because the entire experience feels special. Armand de Brignac Rosé is both.

The unmistakable pink-gold bottle makes an impression before it’s even opened, but this is far more than beautiful packaging. The Champagne itself is rich, expressive and incredibly polished, with wild strawberry, raspberry and black cherry layered with subtle floral, mineral and smoky notes. The palate is full and fresh with a soft, pillowy mousse and a long, beautifully balanced finish.

The Rosé gets its gorgeous color through assemblage, blending sparkling white wine with still Pinot Noir from old-growth vines grown specifically for the Rosé. It’s also produced in extremely limited quantities, even compared with Armand de Brignac Brut Gold.

Why We Love It

This is one of those bottles that just feels special. It has the presence you want when you’re celebrating something big, but the wine inside absolutely lives up to the bottle.

Open it for an anniversary, a milestone, a dinner you want everyone to remember, or simply because sometimes the bottle itself can be the occasion.

Critical Acclaim:

94pts Jeb Dunnuck
A rich salmon color with an orange tinge, the NV Champagne Rose is 55% Pinot Noir, 20% Meunier, and the rest Chardonnay. With this release, Armand de Brignac made a change to the blend, with 50% from 2018, 25% each from 2017 and 2012, and the addition of 15% Pinot Noir still wine. Opening in the glass, it’s floral in its aromatics, with a lifted perfume of wild strawberry, wet stone, and fresh flowers. It gains in intensity on the palate, with a darker profile noted by black cherry liqueur, a pillowy mousse, a long finish, and a well-balanced structure.

92pts Wine Spectator
A mouthwatering rose Champagne, with a lively bead, this offers savory notes of slivered almond and fleur de sel along with layers of ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit, star anise and orange peel flavors. Delivers a lasting, vibrant finish. Drink now through 2022.
