NEW YORK – October 16, 2024 – Armand de Brignac Champagne has announced the release of its inaugural vintage, Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015, showcasing a unique blend that epitomizes the brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and luxury. This cuvée merges complexity with elegance, resulting in a rich representation of the Blanc de Noirs style.
The year 2015 presented a mix of weather challenges for the Champagne region, beginning with a wet spring followed by a warm and dry summer. Despite these conditions, the quality of the fruit remained exceptional. The healthy red grapes yielded a remarkable harvest, notably excelling in both Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier varieties. The Vintage 2015 is crafted predominantly from 70% Pinot Noir, sourced from premier Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, including Mailly and Verzenay. The remaining 30% of the blend comprises Pinot Meunier from Chigny les Roses, Rilly la Montagne, and Ludes, creating a complex profile that pushes the boundaries of traditional champagne blending.
With a limited release of just 1,258 bottles worldwide, each bottle of Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015 is individually numbered, highlighting its exclusivity alongside its disgorgement date. The bottles feature hand-applied French pewter labels and undergo meticulous hand polishing. After maturing in the cellars for over seven years, the wine was disgorged on February 8, 2024. Available exclusively in 1.5L magnum format, this vintage is designed for significant moments, whether personal or shared.
Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015 joins the portfolio of ultra-prestige cuvées from Armand de Brignac, reflecting the brand’s ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence in champagne-making, ensuring a memorable experience for a new generation of enthusiasts.
