Description

Elegant and precise, the magnum of Champagne Ayala Brut Majeur in a case perfectly embodies the style of the Maison Ayala. This refined blend, dominated by Chardonnay, seduces with its balance of freshness, purity and complexity. Thanks to prolonged ageing and measured dosage, this cuvée fully expresses the diversity and richness of Champagne's terroirs.

A subtle, harmonious blend

Brut Majeur is made from a rigorous selection of the finest Champagne grapes, from over 70 crus in the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, Vallée de la Marne, Sézannais, Vitryat and Côte des Bar regions. Each grape variety plays a key role in the balance of this cuvée:

• 50 to 55% Chardonnay, which brings finesse, tension and aromatic sparkle.
• 30 to 40% Pinot Noir for structure, power and depth.
• 10-15% Meunier for suppleness and roundness.

Particular care is taken in the blending, integrating 40% reserve wines to ensure continuity of the house style and added complexity. These wines from older vintages add extra depth.

Prolonged ageing for optimum expression

The magnum of Brut Majeur benefits from a long ageing period on lees of 3 years, far superior to Champagne standards. This prolonged maturation allows the aromas to develop harmoniously and the texture to acquire remarkable finesse. Its low dosage of 6 g/L highlights the pure expression of grape varieties and terroirs.
