ABV: 12%
Bright, with fine, dynamic bubbles. On the nose, AYALA Le Blanc de Blancs A/18 reveals elegant aromas of pear, grapefruit and jasmine, followed by honeyed tones. On the palate, the wine is forthright and open with notes of blood orange and pastry. An extremely vivacious wine with beautiful bitter notes and the chalky minerality that is so characteristic of Maison AYALA’s signature cuvée
This first vintage edition of A/18 blends 6 complementary crus selected from the 22 of Chardonnay that came into our winery during the 2018 harvest: Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Oger, Bisseuil and Cuis.
Over six years ageing in the cellar brings some of the aromatic complexity and creamy texture that AYALA Le Blanc de Blancs is known for. The Extra-Brut dosage, a t 5g/l, makes this a champagne of outstanding purity and freshness.
Champagne AYALA is one of the oldest Champagne Houses and has always been recognised for the quality of its wines and the entrepreneurial spirit of its founder. As well as being one of the founding members of the Syndicat des Grandes Marques de la Champagne in the late 1800s, Champagne AYALA made a name for itself in the early 1900s in the thriving export market of Great Britain by pioneering a lower dosage, drier style of Champagne, which was preferred among the upper echelons of British society. This led to the House being awarded a Royal Warrant by King Edward VII in 1908.
