The origins of Armand de Brignac

Armand de Brignac is a Champagne that was introduced in 2006 by the Cattier family. The prestigious Champagne house Cattier has been officially producing Champagnes under their own name since 1918. The family has been owning their own vineyards since 1763, though. Today, Cattier has 20 hectares of vineyards available and is classified as one of the rare and favourable Premium Crus. The Champagne house operates from the village Chigny-les-Roses in the Montagne de Reims part of Champagne and is considered one of the best Champagnes among buying audiences of the world.

According to Cattier, Armand de Brignac was first founded under the name de Brignac somewhere in between the late forties and the early fifties. The name had been chosen by his mother, who at the time had been reading a novel featuring a character named de Brignac. Since then the brand name had been dormant for decades, until it was resurrected by Cattier in 2006 as ?Armand de Brignac? to make the intriguing product available to buying customers.

How is Armand de Brignac manufactured?

Armand de Brignac picks up and perfects the time-honored tradition that Champagne is primarily a beverage for celebrations. The grape gathering for the noble Champagne is annually conducted in September and takes up to two weeks ? though this may change depending on the climatic conditions. Due to the legislation in Champagne, the grapes have to be picked manually, which is why the vineyards become very crowded during this time. The whole Champagne house is involved in this grape gathering ? including the family itself. After the collecting is done, the grapes are read out, weighed and pressed.

Only the best grapes from the finest vineyards near the Marne are cropped for Armand de Brignac. Many Champagne houses these days use a membrane press in order to extract the juices from their grapes. Although this process does not take as long as traditional treading, it goes along with a reduction of the extract’s quality. This is why the makers of Armand de Brignac use a Coquart press, which slows the process down, but it is also more sparing to the grapes. Test the difference yourself.

After that, the vines are married by the two oenologists Jean-Jacques and Alexandre Cattier. This process produces the individual character of every product and can thus be considered the manufacturer’s signature. After the marriage, Armand de Brignac is traditionally bottled into its gorgeous hand-made metallic bottles and then stored 30 metres below ground in Cattier’s cretaceous basement.
