The New Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack Is Limited to Just 100 Cases
Armand de Brignac is giving collectors two reasons to take a closer look at its Blanc de Noirs range. The Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack brings together Assemblage No. 4 and Assemblage No. 5 in a dedicated presentation limited to just 100 cases.
Officially named the Armand de Brignac Vertical Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack, the offering arrives in the house’s 20th anniversary year. Both Champagnes are made entirely from Pinot Noir, but their different vintage blends and maturation create a pairing with a purpose: exploring how consecutive expressions of the same range develop their own character.
Inside the Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack
Each set contains one 750 mL bottle of Assemblage No. 4 and one 750 mL bottle of Assemblage No. 5, both at 12.5% ABV. They are housed together in a collector’s case created specifically for the release.
The presentation carries the house’s recognizable metallic bottles and French pewter labels. Armand de Brignac finishes its bottles by hand, applying the labels and individually polishing each one. That craftsmanship gives the pairing a visual presence suited to a collector’s display, with plenty of substance waiting beneath the corks.
The word “vertical” describes the comparison between consecutive assemblages. Each bottle blends three harvests, giving enthusiasts a way to explore the progression of the house’s Pinot Noir expression. Blanc de Noirs means white wine made from dark grapes; in this pairing, Pinot Noir supplies the entire blend.
Assemblage No. 4 vs. No. 5: What’s Different?
Assemblage No. 4 combines the 2013, 2014 and 2015 vintages. It spent seven years in the house’s cellars before disgorgement on April 20, 2023, and carries a dosage of 8 grams per liter. Its original production was limited to 7,328 individually numbered bottles.
According to Armand de Brignac’s tasting notes, No. 4 opens with blackberry, ripe plum, fig and orange blossom. The house describes cherry, preserved citrus and white peach on the palate, supported by flinty mineral character and baking spice. Those descriptions suggest a Champagne with a pronounced fruit profile and a firm mineral thread.
Assemblage No. 5 moves the blend forward to the 2014, 2015 and 2016 vintages. It aged for seven and a half years and was disgorged on August 21, 2024. Its dosage is lower at 6 grams per liter. The house’s notes emphasize dried orchard fruit, toasted almond and pastry cream, followed by stone fruit, honey, brioche and roasted nuts. On paper, that gives collectors another direction to explore alongside No. 4’s darker fruit and citrus.
Dosage is the measured sweetening addition used to finish Champagne. Its level is one useful point of comparison, alongside the vintage blend and maturation. Together, those details give this tasting more depth than simply lining up two bottle numbers.

A Collector’s Release in the House’s 20th Anniversary Year
Armand de Brignac traces its modern identity to 2006, making 2026 a milestone year for the Champagne house. Known internationally as Ace of Spades and closely associated with Jay-Z, the brand has built its profile around distinctive presentation and a portfolio that extends well beyond its signature Brut Gold.
The Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack gives that anniversary context a fitting expression. The shared 2014 and 2015 harvests provide a point of connection between the wines, while the remaining vintage and production details invite closer comparison.
The house also describes aging potential of up to 50 years for the pairing. For collectors interested in following Champagne over time, that adds another dimension to the set’s appeal.
How Much Does the Armand de Brignac Blanc de Noirs Twin Pack Cost?
A U.S. price was not displayed on the official Twin Pack product page at the time of writing. Collectors can consult Armand de Brignac directly for pricing and availability.
For those planning to open the bottles, the house’s suggested food pairings offer an equally considered occasion. No. 4’s recommendations include butter-poached lobster and porcini risotto, while No. 5’s include scallops with brown butter and aged Parmigiano Reggiano.
The strongest appeal of this release is the conversation between the wines. Two consecutive assemblages give enthusiasts a chance to explore what changes, what carries through and how Armand de Brignac interprets Pinot Noir across successive blends. The collector’s case brings that experience together in one exceptionally limited presentation.
