About the Producer

The Ace of Spades Champagne house was founded by the Cattier family. As early as 1763, in a small French village, the Cartier family owned their own vineyard and cultivated grapes. Today, the winery is still owned by this family, and the current owner is the tenth generation descendant of the family. There are three main types of grapes used in Ace of Spades Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. The quality of Chardonnay grapes gives the Ace of Spades a lively character; Pinot Noir adds strength and backbone to the champagne and makes the Ace of Spades more layered; Pinot Meunier is the Ace of Spades Champagne offers roundness, subtle aromas and rich fruit. These grapes are harvested from the first and grand crus vineyards in the Champagne region. In terms of brewing, from picking to bottling, the Ace of Spades champagne is completed by a team of only 8 people, and it is the only champagne in the world that is purely artificially produced. Hand-picked grapes, after being pressed using traditional methods, are used to make blends of exceptional quality and character. Each Ace of Spades Champagne is a cuvée created by blending three unique wines from exceptional harvest years. Afterwards, the Ace of Spades Champagne will be slowly aged in the deepest underground cellar in the entire Champagne region, and will be rehydrated with Cartier’s family secret recipe, so that the Ace of Spades Champagne will contain the wines of the selected years from its private vineyards.
