Tasting notes:

Each parcel was vinified separately prior to the blend. Made via the traditional method, the wine is aged for 3 years on the lees to add texture. Expressive and delicate aromas of citrus, flowers and white fruit. Precise and harmonious on the palate with the perfect balance between freshness and vinosity. Long finish.

Producer description:

Founded in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, Ayala is an independent, family-owned champagne house nestled in Aÿ, in the heart of the Grands Crus. Today, it is owned by the Bollinger family who built a state-of-the-art winery, allowing Ayala to offer wines with a great purity of style. Ayala has always been a pioneer in the creation of low-dosage Champagnes. They use a high proportion of Chardonnay and vinify each plot they harvest separately before creating their blend. This, combined with an extensive ageing on the lees (from 3 to 12 years) make Champagne Ayala stand out. Expressive, precise and harmonious, their wines show great purity and freshness.

Critic Scores

Decanter | 90

Ayala's Brut Majeur has undergone reinvention with the 2019 base, now boasting more Chardonnay than any other NV from the major houses. The style is delicate and snappy with yellow apple, lime and sweet pear fruit, subtly backed up by a touch of creaminess. Care and precision, representing fine value. 55% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, 15% Meunier. Based on 2019 with 43% reserve wines from 2018, 2017 and 2016.

A strong offering at the basic level from Ayala. Pinot noir leads the blend in fresh and vibrant style. The palate has plenty of wild cherry, peach, nectarine and grapefruit flavor. Neat and crisp finish. Drink now.
