Champagne Brut Majeur - Ayala [Gift Box]

Freshness in Champagne is shaped not only by dosage but also by the selection of vineyards and the care taken in blending. Ayala Brut Majeur embodies this approach as the signature non-vintage cuvée of a house founded in Aÿ in 1860. Its style combines aromatic clarity, balance and impressive versatility at the table. This edition comes with a presentation box.

Chardonnay at the heart of a 70-cru blend

The blend currently published by the house is 55% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 15% Meunier, drawn from around 70 crus across Champagne’s principal growing areas. Wines are vinified separately in small stainless-steel vats to retain the character of each origin. The Champagne then spends at least three years ageing on its lees, while a restrained 6 g/L dosage preserves its clean, focused profile.

In the glass

Pale gold in colour, with fine bubbles, it offers aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit and delicate flowers. The palate is fresh and precise, balanced by a gentle sense of vinous depth, with a clean, fruity and lingering finish.

Pairing, serving and presentation

Serve at around 10°C, ideally in a tulip-shaped glass. An excellent aperitif, it also pairs naturally with white fish, shellfish, poultry and cheese. The accompanying gift box makes the 75 cl bottle a considered choice for a special occasion.
