Jay-Z’s Armand de Brignac Champagne just unveiled a new limited-edition Champagne.
The Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015 is the brand’s first-ever vintage release and is crafted with 70 percent Pinot Noir grapes from the finest Grand Cru and Premier Cru vineyards, including Mailly and Verzenay. The remaining 30 percent Pinot Meunier comes from Chigny les Roses, Rilly la Montagne and Ludes, resulting in a rarefied combination of fruits and aromas for the celebrity Champagne bottling.
With only 1,258 bottles of Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015 available globally, each metalized 1.5L magnum bottle is inscribed with a unique number (1 to 1,258) to showcase the rarity of the cuvée, and finished with hand-applied French pewter labels before a final hand polishing.
The Champagne rested in cellars for more than 7 years before it was disgorged on February 8, 2024. Armand de Brignac’s Blanc de Noirs Vintage 2015 will be available at select retailers worldwide beginning in November, retailing for $3,400.
After purchasing a 50% stake in Armand de Brignac in 2006, Jay Z purchased the remaining half in 2014, becoming the first rapper to fully own a champagne Co.
