Why shop with us?
Ayala Brut Majeur is a classic Champagne blend that showcases the elegance and precision for which the house is known. Crafted from Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, it offers a refined, balanced style that makes it a versatile choice for celebrations and everyday aperitifs alike. As a longstanding name in Champagne, Ayala has built its reputation on freshness, finesse, and clean expression.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, Brut Majeur typically shows a pale gold hue with a fine, persistent mousse. The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of citrus, green apple, white flowers, and subtle brioche, reflecting both freshness and complexity.
On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with a creamy texture balanced by citrus-driven acidity, orchard fruit, and a delicate mineral edge. The finish is clean and elegant, with enough structure to hold its character well over time, though it is primarily designed to be enjoyed for its freshness and immediacy.
Production
Sourced from the Champagne region of France, Brut Majeur is made from the traditional grape trio of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier, allowing for a well-rounded expression of the house style. While detailed vineyard and vinification information is not available, Ayala is known for producing wines that emphasize precision, freshness, and carefully balanced blends.
Food & Serving
This Champagne pairs beautifully with oysters, shellfish, sushi, smoked salmon, and light poultry dishes, as well as creamy cheeses and fine canapés. Serve well chilled at around 8-10°C; decanting is not necessary.
