Description
In a nutshell:
A wonderful example of a pure Chardonnay Champagne from the best vineyards in the Côte de Blancs.
The lowdown:
Ayala's head winemaker, Caroline Latrive, is passionate about Chardonnay and in this vintage Blanc de Blancs she's really able to strut her stuff. It's only made in suitably good years and then in only small quantities so it's a quite exclusive cuvée. It has a delicate nose with with a ripe apple richness while on the palate which follows through to the palate and is balanced with nutty and bready attributes. While it's dry and minerally there are hints of peach and passion fruit that give a silky and voluptuous feel in the mouth. The long, lingering finish is marked by a characteristic chalky minerality.
When to drink:
Quite simply, a luxurious and decadent Champagne to drink all by itself. It's pretty good with oysters, seared scallops and other seafoods too.
