Lo Champagne AOC Extra Age di Ayala rappresenta l'incarnazione dell'eleganza e del savoir-faire della storica maison francese. Questo vino sfavillio di classe proviene dalla regione della Champagne, dove il terroir unico conferisce al vino un profilo distintivo e inimitabile.

Extra Age si distingue per la sua combinazione di raffinatezza e profondità, derivata da una rigorosa selezione di uve Chardonnay e Pinot Noir di annate eccezionali. Alla vista, si presenta con un delicato colore dorato, arricchito da finissime bollicine persistenti che affiorano nel calice con grazia.

Al naso, gli aromi sono complessi e invitanti, con note di frutta matura, miele, e sfumature tostate. Subito si avvertono accenni di agrumi canditi, mela verde e pane appena sfornato, che lasciano il posto a sentori di mandorle, spezie dolci e una leggera vena minerale.

Al palato, lo Champagne AOC Extra Age di Ayala rivela una struttura equilibrata e armoniosa, con una bella freschezza che bilancia la ricchezza dei sapori. La sensazione è setosa e ben arrotondata, dove il perlage finissimo esalta una lunga e persistente chiusura caratterizzata da un retrogusto di nocciole e brioche.

Questo champagne è ideale per celebrazioni importanti, abbinamenti gastronomici con frutti di mare pregiati, crostacei o piatti di alta cucina. Esprime appieno la tradizione e la qualità della maison Ayala, rendendolo una scelta sofisticata per gli intenditori più esigenti.

Ogni sorso di Ayala Extra Age è un viaggio sensoriale che riflette l’eccellenza vitivinicola della regione dello Champagne.

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.
