12th and 13th generation wine growers, Jean-Jacques Cattier and his son, Alexandre, craft the prestige cuvees of Armand de Brignac. Their dream was to create a champagne of the most exceptional quality, that would represent the best of the best from the region, where their family have grown vines for more than 250 years. Unique to Champagne Armand de Brignac is the blending of a trio of vintages. In the 1950s, Nelly Cattier, mother to Jean-Jacques, discovered a character in a novel she was reading, called ‘M. De Brignac’. Jean-Jacques decided to pay tribute to his mother by adopting this special name.
