Looking for the cream of the crop among champagnes? Then meet the bestseller from the historic champagne house of Ayala. The story of Ayala begins with a romantic twist, when Colombian diplomat Edmond de Ayala fell in love with a French beauty. Their love was sealed with a unique dowry: an elegant country house with sprawling vineyards in the charming village of Ay, nestled perfectly between the champagne gems of Reims and Epernay. The sparkling legacy received a boost when a brother of the founder, who was involved in British high society, secured Ayala's entry into the British Court. The rest, as they say, is history!
Brut Majeur: Ayala's Signature Champagne
The secret of every champagne lies in the blend, and Ayala's Brut Majeur is no exception. This champagne stands out with its 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir, and 20% Pinot Meunier. This masterpiece comes from vineyards exclusively within the Grand and Premier Cru categories, a testament to the exceptional quality of the grapes. But what makes this Ayala champagne so special? Its characteristically dry and clean taste is the result of three years of patient aging in the cellars and a minimal addition of residual sugar.
The seductive aromas and flavors of Brut Majeur
If you've ever experienced the magic of Ayala's Brut Majeur, you know it's a sensory feast from the moment you pop the cork. You're first greeted by a symphony of aromas: think freshly baked bread, citrus, toasted nuts, a hint of flowers, and juicy white fruit. A sip of this exquisite champagne is a journey through a landscape of flavors: crisp white flowers, zesty grapefruit, and a hint of mint. The mousse? So delicate and playful, you can't wait for the next sip.
