    Description

    The aromatic finesse of a flavoursome vintage Blanc de Blancs by Ayala

    The producer

    In 1855, Edmond de Ayala travelled to the Champagne region and founded the Ayala Champagne House with his wife in 1860. The Ayala House has remained a family-owned business and places both passion and quality at the very heart of its ambitions and goals by striving to produce pure, elegant and fine champagnes. Ayala's wines are to be enjoyed naturally, without any dosage. Ayala has been the official supplier for the British crown. In 2005, the Ayala Champagne House was taken over by the family company Bollinger.

    The wine

    Ayala's Blanc de Blancs 2014: Characteristics and tasting tips

    The tasting

    Colour

    Bright and brilliant, the colour has subtle golden hues. The effervescence is fine and delicate.

    Nose

    The nose is very fresh and aromatic, with notes of tangy orange blossom, yuzu zest and white peach, and a delicate infusion of aniseed, lime blossom and ginger aromas.

    Palate

    Fresh and lively on the attack, the palate is silky and pure. It possesses an alluring amplitude and delectable aromas of white fruits, acacia honey and a hint of brioche. The finish is marked by a mineral-driven expression, a feature of its terroir of origin, which blends with this champagne's subtle salinity and its grapefruit and blood orange notes.

    Food and wine pairing

    Enjoy as an aperitif, Ayala's Blanc de Blancs 2014 will complement sea bream ceviche with lemon, prawn risotto or rosemary braised veal fondant.
