Ayala's Brut Majeur is an elegant starting point for those who want to discover the world of this fine Maison of A?. 40% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and the remainder Meunier, each individual parcel is vinified separately so that the Chef de Cave has maximum freedom of choice when creating the cuvée. After soft pressing, the free-run juice is started for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, and after a refining period of a few months, the base wines are assembled for bottling and the tirage phase. The stay on the lees, in the Maison's quarries, in this case lasts no less than 36 months. The result is a Champagne characterized by a beautiful light straw yellow color with delicate golden reflections and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is immediately expressive and delicate, with notes of citrus, flowers and white-fleshed fruits. In the mouth it is balanced, fresh and vinous. Well balanced, it reveals a long lingering finish. An aperitif champagne par excellence, Brut Majeur will also know how to accompany delicate dishes, such as fish starters, shellfish or even a simple mixed cheese board.
