100% Grand Cru Champagne
Armand de Brignac Rosé is made from some of the best plots in the Montagne de Reims and is a blend of wines from 2009, 2010 and 2012. It owes its pink color and red fruit intensity to a small portion of pinot noir.
Non-Vintage with base year 2012
The weather: The weather in 2012 has been labeled by many as very challenging, but it has created a fantastic champagne. Relatively low yield due to different weather conditions throughout the year. The winter months brought some frost and hail which damaged the early stages of bud burst. August and September were very warm and this helped to save and give the grapes a great maturity.
