Yes, it’s THAT Champagne. No, I didn’t buy it, and neither did the friend who brought it over to share after being gifted it by a client. So, what does the Ace of Spades taste like? Decent non-vintage, moderately long triage champagne. But for $250-$300!?!?!? You’ve gotta be kidding me. This doesn’t hold a candle to Krug or Taittinger Comtes de Champagne or frankly even Bollinger Special Cuvée. So definitely don’t buy a bottle, especially not in a restaurant. Sorry-not-sorry, Jay-Z.

Really added a wow factor to the music focused dinner but what it had it visuality it lacked in quality. Not the level I would expect in a Champagne at this price. Drink for the experience at best.

I don't even drink the shit. I just pour it out over ice. And I'm not talking about frozen water.

Nice Champagne, but failed to make me feel like a famous rapper.

This Champagne is made by Cattier in Chigny-les-Roses but the brand has been owned by Jay Z since November of 2014. The wine is composed of 40% Meunier, 40% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, but the Meunier dominates the aromatics. It is not our finest value for money.

91/100. Expected more thickness and 'rap'. It is more than ok, nut that's it...
