    Overview

    Ayala Rose Champagne


    Ayala Rosé Majeur is the perfect embodiment of the originality and finesse of the House's wines. Made predominantly from Chardonnay it is crafted with the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims. A low dosage enables it to express the House style, both feminine and generous, with great elegance.
     
    Tasting Notes:
    Ayala Rose shows a lovely pale colour, with a delicate pink hue. On the nose Charming, generous and open, revealing aromas of red berries (strawberries, raspberries) and vine peaches.
     
    In the mouth, light yet expressive. This wine shows great freshness, due to the high proportion of Chardonnay in the blend. Notes of red gooseberries and raspberries, with a lengthy and voluptuous finish
       
    Grape Variety:
    Chardonnay (50%), Pinot Noir (30%), Pinot Meunier (10%) including 6% still red wine from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ (Pinot Noir from old vines).

    The very high proportion of Chardonnay and the ageing process offer remarkable finesse and elegance to this Champagne.

    Review:
    "Salmon pink colour. Tight, herby, complex and savoury with a hint of strawberry fruit. Really lovely stuff."
    Jamie Goode, Wine Anorak, June 2010

    History:
    One of the original 26 Grand Marque Champagne Houses, Ayala has had a noble history since its inception in 1860 when Edmond de Ayala received the magnificent Chateau as the dowry for his wedding. Located in Aÿ, in the heart of the Montagne de Reims vineyards, Ayala naturally focuses on Grand Cru Pinot Noir for its Brut Majeur and its Vintage Brut. Ayala is a "small" house, the artisan of champagne-making.
