Tasting Notes

Notes by Rocky
Blend: 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, 20% Pinot Meunier.
Style: Bone dry, with all the characteristics of the Brut Majeur – refreshing, pure and elegant with white-fruit notes in evidence.
Food-match suggestion: Bone-dry Champagnes are more suited to enjoying with food rather than as apéritifs and this is no different. It is a delicious companion for oysters, as well as Thai cuisine and a manner of fish dishes, especially sushi and sashimi.
Comment: Unusually, Ayala use the same base wine as in the Brut Majeur, but without the addition of sugar. It is aged for an extra year (four in total), adding extra complexity and concentration of mineral flavours, with grapefruit and peach notes to balance the acidity.
