Lo Champagne AOC Le Blanc de Blancs - Magnum della cantina Ayala è un'esplosione di eleganza e raffinatezza. Realizzato esclusivamente con uve Chardonnay provenienti dai migliori cru della regione Champagne, questo spumante esprime al meglio la purezza e la delicatezza del vitigno. Alla vista si presenta con un colore giallo paglierino brillante, impreziosito da un perlage finissimo, segno di una lunga e rigorosa lavorazione.

Al naso, Le Blanc de Blancs regala un bouquet complesso e affascinante, con note di fiori bianchi, agrumi freschi, e una leggera sfumatura di mandorla tostata e biscotto. Questa ricchezza aromatica si traduce in un palato vivace e minerale, con una freschezza che persiste e avvolge in un equilibrio perfetto di acidità e morbidezza. La bollicina è fine e cremosa, contribuendo a una sensazione setosa ed elegante.

La versione Magnum di questo Champagne enfatizza la maturazione e l'invecchiamento, conferendo maggiore complessità e profondità ai sapori, rendendola la scelta ideale per occasioni speciali e celebrazioni. Abbinamenti ideali includono frutti di mare, ostriche, sushi, ma anche piatti raffinati come il foie gras o i formaggi a pasta molle. La cantina Ayala, con la sua lunga tradizione e attenzione al dettaglio, garantisce un prodotto di altissima qualità, che saprà conquistare anche i palati più esigenti.

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.
