Description
In a nutshell:
An elegant and stimulatingly dry Brut Champagne from the impeccable Ayala.
The lowdown:
Every Champagne producer's Non-Vintage Brut is a key marker of their house style. This cuvée from Ayala is no exception; it's a little drier than some and the blend contains 40% Chardonnay which is a generous proportion. On the nose are expressive citrus notes and hints of florality and peachiness. It's very well balanced with a delicate complexity with the Chardonnay adding a lively, fresh fruitiness on the palate, whilst the Pinot Noir and Meunier gives it richness and length.
The Producer:
Founded by Edmond de Ayala in 1860 in the famous Champagne village of Aÿ, Ayala is one of the older Champagne houses. Back when sweeter styles were the norm, they were among the first to champion drier Brut Champagnes that went on to dominate the scene. In 2005, they were acquired up by the Bollinger family, who brought in some serious investment to revamp the winemaking facilities and which led to a real comeback for them. Their style focuses on Chardonnay, with their flagship Brut Majeur boasting 40% Chardonnay and their Blanc de Blancs wines are also top-notch and worth seeking out.
When to drink:
Beautifully crisp, dry and fruity it's the ideal apertif and brilliant with canapés and seafood.
