Description

A Blanc de Blancs vintage champagne entices with richness and balance

The estate

The Ayala Champagne House was founded in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala and his wife. Passionate through the generations, the Ayala family purports to develop highly elegant champagnes, adored across borders, particularly over the Channel where Ayala has been the official supplier of the British Crown. In 2005, the Ayala Champagne House was taken over by the family business Bollinger.

The wine

Developed in limited quantities during exceptional vintages, this Blanc de Blancs from Ayala amplifies the elegance and the purest expression of the great terroirs of the Côte des Blancs in Champagne.  This wine was developed from grapes grown in vineyards at Oger, Chouilly, Cramant, Cuis and Grauves.

Winemaking and ageing

This Ayala Blanc de Blancs champagne was aged in the cellar on lees for six years. Its dosage is from 6 g/l.

Blend

Chardonnay (100%).

Characteristics and tasting tips for Blanc de Blancs 2016 from Ayala

Tasting

Colour
With its gorgeous white-gold sheen, the colour is maintained by a delicate effervescence.

Nose
The nose is complex, mixing fragrances of ripe yellow lemon, cedar and jasmine with subtle honey (acacia honey) and peppery (Timut pepper) notes.

Palate
The attack entices with its precision and balance. Full and delicious, the palate unveils scents of passionfruit, citrus, spices but also plum tart. The lasting finish gives a smooth, chalky minerality.



Food and wine pairings

An ideal apéritif, the Blanc de Blancs 2016 from Ayala goes perfectly with turbot in white butter, turkey dishes, goat’s cheese or a Pavlova with exotic fruits.
