Brut Majeur Champagne NV

Elevate your celebrations with Ayala Brut Majeur NV Champagne, a 750ml icon from the historic house of Ayala, founded in 1860 in Aÿ, Champagne. This non-vintage Brut, a blend of 55% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir, and 15% Pinot Meunier from 70 crus, showcases the house’s signature freshness and elegance, with 43% reserve wines adding depth. Crafted with micro-vinification in 120 stainless steel vats and aged 3 years on lees with a low dosage of 6 g per l, it reveals a pale gold hue and fine mousse at 12% ABV. The nose offers intense aromas of lemon peel, pear, and brioche, with hints of white flowers. The palate is balanced and refined, delivering candied lemon, green apple, and crystallized honey, finishing with a chalky, mineral edge. Rated 94 points by James Suckling for its “elegant nose and polished finish,” this Champagne is perfect as an aperitif or paired with seafood, sushi, or beef carpaccio. A collector’s essential embodying Ayala’s legacy of purity and finesse.
