"Bright with fine and dynamic bubbles, the AYALA Le Blanc de Blancs A/18 cuvée reveals an elegant nose with aromas of pear, grapefruit and jasmine accompanied by honeyed notes. The frank attack is followed by notes of blood orange and pastry. A very lively wine with beautiful bitterness and a chalky minerality, characteristic of this emblematic cuvée from Maison AYALA." Julian Gout, Cellar Master

THE REGION
Discover the prestigious Champagne region, renowned worldwide for its exceptional sparkling wines. Located in the northeast of France, this blessed land enjoys a unique terroir that gives its wines their distinctive character. The Champagne terroir is characterized by its limestone soils, temperate climates, and ideal exposure to the sun's rays. These ideal conditions allow the cultivation of three main grape varieties: Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier, and Chardonnay. The Champagne region is divided into several appellations, the best known of which are Champagne, Champagne Premier Cru, and Champagne Grand Cru. Champagne comes in several types, each bringing its own touch of sophistication and elegance. The most common Champagne Brut is dry and refreshing, while Champagne Rosé offers delicate, fruity nuances. Connoisseurs will also appreciate the Champagne Blanc de Blancs, made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes, and the Champagne Blanc de Noirs, made exclusively from black grape varieties. Champagne’s worldwide reputation is also based on its iconic production method, known as the méthode champenoise. This demanding technique involves a double fermentation: first in the vat, then in the bottle, creating the fine, persistent bubbles for which this sparkling wine is renowned. The Champagne region embodies French winemaking excellence, with its exceptional terroirs, iconic grape varieties and traditional production method. Enjoy a glass of this sparkling nectar and let yourself be transported by its incomparable elegance and finesse.
