Lo Champagne AOC Brut Majer di Ayala è un'eccellenza enologica che incarna la tradizione e il savoir-faire della storica Maison Ayala, situata nel cuore della regione dello Champagne. Questo champagne è una sinfonia di eleganza e freschezza, realizzata con una maestria ineguagliabile.

Il Brut Majer è composto principalmente da uve Chardonnay, che rappresentano la freschezza e la finezza del vino, affiancate da proporzioni bilanciate di Pinot Noir e Pinot Meunier. Questo blend armonioso conferisce al vino una complessità e una profondità che si rivelano ad ogni sorso.

Nel calice, si presenta con un colore giallo dorato brillante, accompagnato da un perlage fine e persistente. Al naso, offre un bouquet di aromi raffinati, tra cui si possono riconoscere note di agrumi freschi, mela verde, fiori bianchi e una leggera sfumatura di lieviti, risultato di un affinamento sui lieviti che dura almeno tre anni.

Al palato, il Brut Majer di Ayala si distingue per la sua vivacità e struttura ben bilanciata. Le note fruttate si fondono abilmente con una mineralità decisa e una freschezza che rende il finale lungo e avvincente. Questo champagne è perfetto come aperitivo, ma si presta anche ad accompagnare piatti di pesce, frutti di mare e preparazioni delicate.

L'eleganza e la raffinatezza di questo champagne lo rendono ideale per momenti di festa e celebrazioni, offrendo un'esperienza degustativa che esprime appieno la tradizione e l'innovazione della Maison Ayala.

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.
