Lo Champagne AOC Brut Majeur di Ayala, presentato in formato da 375ml, è un esempio sublime dell'arte vinicola della storica maison fondata nel 1860. Questo vino, frutto di un assemblaggio sapiente, combina eleganza, freschezza e complessità in un equilibrio perfetto. La cuvée è dominata dal Chardonnay, che conferisce finezza e leggerezza, supportato dal Pinot Noir che apporta struttura e intensità, con una piccola percentuale di Pinot Meunier per armonizzare il tutto. Il Brut Majeur si distingue per il suo colore dorato brillante e per il perlage fine e persistente.

Al naso emergono deliziose note di fiori bianchi, mela verde e agrumi, accompagnate da delicati sentori di brioche e mandorla tostata, frutto di un affinamento prolungato sui lieviti. Al palato, si rivela fresco e vivace, con un'acidità ben integrata e una texture cremosa che accarezza il palato, chiudendo con una lunga e piacevole mineralità. Questo Champagne si presta perfettamente come aperitivo, ma può accompagnare anche piatti di pesce, frutti di mare e formaggi a pasta molle, esaltando ogni occasione con un tocco di raffinatezza. Un'ottima scelta per chi cerca un'esperienza di Champagne autentica e memorabile.

Winery history
Founded by Edmond de Ayala in the 19th century, the house gained recognition for its low-dosage style and its presence in Great Britain. During the 20th century it changed ownership several times and, after a relaunch, was acquired by a group connected to Bollinger in 2005, with subsequent investments and modernisation of its facilities.
Production philosophy
In search of purity and balance: compositions centered on Chardonnay, low dosage and extended ageing on the lees. Work on single crus with micro-vinifications and the use of reserve wines to preserve continuity and finesse.
Terroir and vineyards
Works with a wide palette of Champagne crus, combining estate-grown grapes and fruit supplied by growers. Declared estate holdings include around 20 hectares distributed across the Montagne de Reims, the Côte des Blancs and other parcels in the Vallée de la Marne; the house is undergoing conversion toward more sustainable practices.
