Champagne Ayala Rosé Major

A festive aperitif, but also delicious with refined starters with crustaceans and shellfish or with fish dishes such as warm lobster and salmon fillet. Tastes excellent with desserts with fresh fruit.

Ayala - since 1860 - is a relatively small champagne house, but produces high-quality champagnes. This boutique winery has been owned by the Société Jacques Bollinger since 2005. Grapes mainly come from Grand and Premier Cru vineyards and only the first pressing (cuvé) is used. All wines mature considerably longer than the appelation requires. Characteristic of Ayala is the low dosage of added sugars. The result is a champagne with a very low residual sweetness percentage and therefore a drier, purer taste.

A rosé champagne in a beautiful blend of 50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir (of which 6% 'still wine') supplemented with 10% Pinot Meunier. Slightly expressive, aromatic and wonderfully fresh in taste. The Rosé Majeur has matured on lees for at least 2 years (only 15 months are required by law). The low sugar content (7.5 g/l compared to 13 g/l on average in Champagne) proves the high quality of Ayala.

The Champagne region is a vast area around Reims. The wine region, an inland sea in prehistoric times, is characterized by a special limestone soil consisting of fossils of marine animals that lived in this inland sea at the time. Due to the northern location of the area, the Champagnes are always characterized by a certain freshness.
