Armand de Brignac Brut Gold ranked Number One amongst the World's Best Champagnes

2010-01-07

The world's only international champagne publication and a renowned authority - FINE Champagne Magazine – went through the rigorous process of naming and ranking the 100 best champagnes now available on the market. Putting brand images and prices aside, FINE blind-tasted over 1,000 samples of the current champagne offerings: prestige cuvées, vintages and non-vintages. Each Champagne was rated on a 100-point scale. The process was so strict that, if judges' assessments were more than four points apart, the Champagne would be re-tasted and re-assessed. When the results were weighed, the top ten included many classic names. The surprise first-place finisher was Armand de Brignac Brut Gold, with a taste score ranking No. 1 among the world's best Champagnes. The quality level was high, as expected from such a reputable and high-priced category as champagne. With most of the wines averaging around 88 to 91 points, there were, however, several wines that stuck out with their quality and personality. The highest rating went to Armand de Brignac: described as a "fine, smooth and creamy champagne with underlying power and great mineral freshness". The panel praised the wine for its classic style and perfect drinkability today that does not compromise its aging capacity. "It has everything a truly great champagne can offer, and the packaging – the distinctive, showy golden "ace of spades” bottle – serves as a brilliant example of Armand de Brignac's courageous, successful branding”. "Your wine club is proud of its strong ties with the brand and thrilled that Armand de Brignac Gold Brut has excelled in a highly contested champagne market” said CEO David Coleman. "Seeing Armand de Brignac ranked ahead of classic Champagnes like Dom Perignon, Krug, and Cristal has turned more than a few heads in the wine world”.
