From magnum. Our aperitif with the Cattier father and son team who make the wine for Jay Z in Chigny-les-Rose on the Mountain of Reims. The current 750's are based on 2012, but this is based on 2010 as they did not use 2011 for Armand de Brignac. Toasty, tasty, simple Champagne. — 11 years ago
Champagne Cattier – Blanc de Blancs Premier Cru (N/V)
Montagne de Reims, Champagne – France 🇫🇷
Overview
This Premier Cru Blanc de Blancs from the Cattier family is made from 100% Chardonnay, sourced from Premier Cru villages in the Montagne de Reims. A classic expression of the “white from whites” style, it emphasizes purity, minerality, and finesse, showing why Blanc de Blancs is often the most refreshing and precise style of Champagne.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright lemon peel, green apple, and crisp pear lead, with undertones of white flowers and chalky minerality. Subtle pastry and almond hints add elegance.
Mouthfeel
Lively, clean, and linear. The mousse is fine and persistent, delivering razor-sharp acidity with a creamy, chalk-inflected finish that lingers with citrus zest.
Food Pairings
Ideal with oysters, sashimi, citrus-dressed salads, or goat cheese. Also a beautiful aperitif on its own.
Verdict
Crisp, clean, and deliciously moreish — a Champagne so vibrant it’s almost impossible to stop at one glass. 🥂 cheers! — a year ago

Did You Know? 📌
Cattier is also the family behind the ultra-prestige label Armand de Brignac (“Ace of Spades”), but their own Cattier-branded Champagnes often deliver outstanding value for their pedigree. — a year ago
Premier cru Blanc de Noirs. Bright coppery gold with white mousse. White cherry and red apple on the inviting nose. Echoed on the medium palate adding toasted brioche and baked pear. Firm acidity (of course) and a lingering charred apple finish. Wonderful Blanc de Noirs! Classic with white meat stews, firm white fish, and other white wine fare. Much better buy than their “Ace of Spades” label. — 5 years ago
Dry. Bubbly. Somewhat toastie. Good to very good. — 8 years ago
50% Pinot Meunier, 30% Pinot Noir, 20% Chardonnay. Mild on nose, with some tropical or citrus notes. On a palate is gentle with buttery hints (maybe too much chardonnay or maybe I drink too much champagne lately). — 8 years ago
Jay-Z's favorite bubbly, this pink Champagne falls under the Champagne Cattier umbrella. "Ace of Spades" is the new Cristal, at least in hip hop circles. About as limited as a wine can get. This one is mainly sold at night clubs.
I sold this Liter for $2,000.00. My guest loved it and bought a total of 2 bottles. Wow!! — 11 years ago
