“There was actually no decision made to launch the brand through celebrities. The first celebrity to become a lover of Armand de Brignac was Jay-Z – he heard about the brand and contacted our U.S. importer, who then had us send him several bottles directly while he was vacationing in the south of France – of course, these bottles appeared in his music video later on! Most recently, we saw the New York Yankees baseball team celebrate with Armand de Brignac after winning the World Series. Also some famous actors such as Leonardo di Caprio and George Clooney and many athletes such as Roger Federer, Luis Figo , and LeBron James. We have also seen some other singers including Rihanna, drinking Armand de Brignac. It has also become a fast favourite at France’s Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants. These include Alain Llorca’s Le Moulin de Mougins and Jacques Chibois’ La Bastide St Antoine on the Riviera along with Reims’ celebrated L’Assiette Champenoise,” says a very pleased Philippe Bienvenu, Cattier’s Commercial Director.

Wine Description
The Story
The Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru is Cattier’s most iconic champagne. It is made solely from our nine favourite villages (mostly Ludes, Chigny-les-Roses and Rilly-la-Montagne). A faithful reflection of its terroir, the Cuvée Blanc de Blancs Cattier is characterised by its fresh, fruit-forward personality and well-rounded finish.
Generosity and power are two other characteristics of our wines. During their tasting, our Champagnes offer a first attack full of freshness and then, the fruit expression is amplified as the champagne intensifies in the mouth. All taste buds are coated with aromas that fade gradually like a wave coming to die on the sand. We have always cultivated this power and this roundness that make the specificity of our champagnes.
Wine Information
Eyes : this champagne offers a pale gold colour, broken only by a ribbon of fine bubbles.
Nose : elegance is the word, with aromas of vanilla and acacia flowers and notes of fig.
Palate : It opens brightly on the palate, an explosion of fruit with flavours of peach, apricot and pear. These gracefully give way to notes of lemon and rich pastry, a fitting accompaniment to the smooth velvety texture.
