Ayala Cuvee Perle d'Ayala Champagne

Some champagnes are so special, you'll never forget them. This is the crown jewel of the magnificent Ayala estate. A showpiece. A unique champagne where craftsmanship plays a significant role. That craftsmanship has been Ayala's hallmark for over a century and a half. They have dominated the champagne industry for decades, with their detailed, sophisticated champagnes. Located in the beautiful Ay, a small village in the heart of Champagne, they are in good company with neighbors like Bollinger, Deutz, and Louis Roederer. However, this champagne is the pinnacle, not just in Ay, but in the entire Champagne region.

Ayala's Craftsmanship

This Ayala champagne is made from 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir grapes. However, these are no ordinary grapes. All the grapes used for Ayala Cuvée Perle d'Ayala Champagne come from Grand Cru vineyards. These are the highest-ranking vineyards in Champagne. The Chardonnay grapes are grown on Grand Cru plots in Chouilly and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, while the Pinot Noir grapes are grown on Grand Cru fields around Ay. The yield of these grapes is low, so this Champagne is being released in limited quantities.

The aroma and taste of this beautiful Champagne

Before the bottles of Ayala Cuvée Perle d'Ayala Champagne can leave the cellars, a whole process takes place. Because the capacity for this champagne is limited, the bottles are aged longer in the cellars. Once they leave the Ayala cellars, the bottles have been aged for at least eight years. This process creates a complex palette on the nose and palate. Baked bread and brioche dominate, combined with appealing mineral notes. You'll also recognize distinct notes of marzipan, mirabelle plums, vanilla, butter, custard, and dried fruit in this phenomenal Champagne. Ayala Cuvée Perle d'Ayala Champagne stands out for its finesse, elegance, and silky smooth character. A top-notch champagne from a fantastic Champagne house!
