Located in A\u00ff<\/strong>, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims vineyards, Ayala <\/strong>naturally focuses on Grand Cru Pinot Noir for its Brut Majeur and its Vintage Brut. Ayala <\/strong>is a “small” house, the artisan of champagne-making<\/strong>.<\/b><\/p>\n Its small size enables Ayala <\/strong>to produce “haute couture” by sourcing its grapes mainly in Grand Cru – (17 in total) and Premier Cru vineyards (44 in total out of 319 villages). The Ayala-blend has an extremely high average rating of 93% on the \u201c\u00e9chelle des crus\u201d scale.<\/p>\n Pale gold in color with a fine mousse, the wine is aromatic on the nose. On the palate, it is well balanced and shows great finesse and complexity.<\/p>\n Pinot Noir gives the wine richness and a long finish while Chardonnay, from the finest soils of\u00a0\u00a0 the C\u00f4te des Blancs, adds delicacy, liveliness and freshness. Pinot Meunier, mainly from the\u00a0 Marne Valley, gives the wine an appealing fruitiness and roundness.<\/p>\n Ageing : More than 2,5 years on the lees \u00a0and in the cellar for at least another 3 months after disgorgement<\/p>\n Delicious as an aperitif, Brut Majeur is also the perfect wine to serve throughout a meal such as sea food, scallops, lobster, crab, fresh or grilled fish, fish terrines, salmon\u00a0 or beef carpaccio.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Grape varieties: \u00a0 Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (30%) and Pinot Meunier (25%).
