Tasting Notes
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.
Producer's Tasting Notes
Colour
Bright gold, with a silver hue.
Nose
Direct but fine. Marked by precision and notes of citrus fruit with a saline component.
Palate
Both complex and clean. Remains full of purity and tension. Delivers dry, mineral notes, along with flavours of grapefruit and white fruits.
