Wine Enthusiast -
James Suckling - August 15, 2024 "Lovely minerality and creaminess here, as well as notes of brioche, buttered toast, lemons and smoked almonds. Very fine and velvety on the palate, with a rounded, full finish. A blend of Chardonnay, Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc."

Brut Majeur
Champagne
Ayala Brut Majeur perfectly embodies the Chardonnay-focused style of Ayala. This cuvée achieves balance and finesse through low dosage, stainless-steel vinification, and three years of aging on lees. Made from over 70 crus across Champagne’s key regions, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, each cru is fermented separately in 120 stainless-steel vats, preserving its unique characteristics. The result is a Champagne of exceptional complexity, capturing the richness and diversity of the region’s terroirs.

Coteaux Varois
A treasure in the portfolio, La Perle is produced only in exceptional years, according to practices that have remained faithful to the Champagne tradition. Composed of a majority of Chardonnay, this wine captures the essence of the Champagne terroir, in the purest respect of the style of the House.

Le Blanc de Blancs
Champagne, France
