Ayala ′Brut Majeur′ Extra Age Champagne

One of the best kept secrets in Champagne, Ayala has been under the ownership of the Bollinger family since 2005. And it’s been brought back to brilliance by winemaker Caroline Latrive – one of few female Chefs de Caves at the helm of a Grande Marque Champagne House. Under her watchful eye, Brut Majeur Extra Age has been recommended by Decanter as ‘must try fizz’ with an excellent 94-point score. The clue is in the name – it’s aged for an additional 12 months in Ayala’s cellars, so you can expect an opulent and complex Champagne that punches well above its price point. It’s dry and decadent, with rich notes of citrus and toast. Fine bubbles add to its elegance.
