Also Available in 375ml
Producer's Notes:
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay bring vinosity and delicacy together in a very harmoniously balanced blend. The complement of Pinot Meunier adds a touch of fruitiness and liveliness.
What we say:
A benchmark non-vintage Champagne that quietly overdelivers on elegance, balance, and drinkability. Brut Majeur is the calling card of Champagne Ayala, a house long associated with freshness and precision, and this cuvée captures that philosophy perfectly.
Chardonnay leads the blend, giving the wine its bright citrus profile and lifted aromatics, while Pinot Noir and Meunier provide subtle structure and breadth. In the glass, it opens with lemon zest, green apple, and delicate white florals, followed by gentle brioche and a fine, chalky mineral note. The palate is clean and dry, with lively acidity and a refined mousse, finishing crisp and composed rather than showy.
This is Champagne that works just as well as an aperitif as it does at the table - polished, versatile, and effortlessly classical.
