“Symphony into Brut Majeur”

The Ayala-blend has an extremely high average rating of 90% on the “échelle des crus” scale.
Tasting notes
Pale gold in color with a fine mousse, the wine is aromatic on the nose. On the palate, it is well
balanced and shows great finesse and complexity.
Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from the best grand- and premier crus bring vinosity and delicacy together in a very harmoniously balanced blend.
The complement of Pinot Meunier adds a charming touch of fruitiness and liveliness.
