Ayala Champagne Brut Majeur

Brut Majeur is a perfect representation of the AYALA style. Based on Chardonnay, with smaller amounts of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier from the best terroirs, this cuvée exudes nothing but pure elegance. The grapes for this champagne come from some of the most exquisite terroirs in Champagne, including 70 crus spread across Côte de Blancs Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Aube, Vitruat and Sézannais. The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified individually in stainless steel, which helps shape Ayala's distinctive fresh style. In fact, each grape variety, each cru, each vintage is vinified separately to preserve the expression and character of each parcel, each terroir and each vintage, which makes for fantastic blending possibilities. The champagne is aged sur lie (aged on the lees) for a minimum of three years, which gives tertiary, nutty notes and thus depth. The wine is light golden in the glass with a slightly sparkling mousse. The aroma is aromatic with notes of citrus, white flowers and stone fruit. The taste is elegant and delicate with notes of oyster shell, citrus, white peach, green almonds and flint. The aftertaste is long and fresh with a nice mineral finish. Perfect as an aperitif, on the terrace or with light dishes with fish, seafood, poultry, firm cheeses etc.
