The splendour of Chardonnay…
The presentation in a clear bottle highlights the uniqueness and prestige of this wine.
The 2004 vintage
After a rainy and cool month of August did not let anyone expect a great
vintage, but very fortunately September was once again beautiful: a very
generous sun gave lovely maturity to the grapes during the day whilst the
nights were cool enough to ensure a perfect sanitary condition.
2004 was a record harvest in Champagne, both in terms of quantity (14 000
kilos/ha) and quality: the average potential alcohol reached 9,7% with a lovely
acidity level of 7,3g/L.
Tasting notes
• Pale gold in colour with a lively glint, its mousse is superb and displays very
fine and distinguished necklaces of bubbles.
• The nose displays very charming notes of citrus, pineapple and white flowers.
• The palate is very fresh and pure, intense and beautifully structured, with a
creamy texture, all leading to a pleasant and long finish.
• A very grand and elegant wine combining character and delicacy.
The blend
Ayala Blanc de Blancs is made exclusively with Chardonnay from the Grands
Cru villages of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cramant and Chouilly (one third of each).
Ageing
The wine is aged 5 years in our cellars before disgorgement in order to develop complexity, intensity and roundness.

Pairing with food
Very seductive as an aperitif, it is equally divine with St Jacques scallops, or a braised turbot with truffles or even with a crunchy dessert with aniseed pears. Ayala Blanc de Blancs is a wonderful delight for wine lovers of great white wines…
