Ayala
Cuvée Perle d'Ayala Millésime Brut Champagne
Champagne, France
Ayala Perle D'Ayala Brut Millèsime 2002 is an elegant blend of 80% Chardonnay and 20% Pinot Noir from the Grand Cru regions of Le Mesnil-Sur-Oger, Chouilly and Cramant. It's been aged on the lees for eight years, giving it nice balance and weight against a tensile acid spine. Golden delicious apple, lemon zest and shortbread form that wonderful trifecta of aromas that is not unlike a freshly-baked apple pie. I especially like that the finish is very long, and very persistent.

The prestige cuvée from Ayala, the is a right Perle indeed with a moving combination of penetrating persistence and a scent and fragrance that marries brioche pastry dough and marmalade with citrus peel and orchard fruit. An absolutely delightful bottle.

All Grand Cru, 80Ch/20PN, 6g/l dosage. Made by the old team before Bollinger purchased Ayala in 2005. Maturing, cream & porcini aromas, excellent texture & length.

Amazing. Could make you weep. Just as good as any of the top cuvée lines from the other houses but for half the cost....I'd say at that price it tastes even better.

We visited Champagne Ayala today, located in the grand cru village of Äy, Champagne. 🇫🇷
This champagne house is now part of the Bollinger family 🏠 ; it has a distinct and marked personality, leaning especially towards Chardonnay with a light, elegant, and focused character. 🌸
We had the pleasure of touring the grounds and cave with @carledmundsherman where we learned about the history of Ayala, the subsoils and topography where grapes used to make this wine were grown; we rode an elevator with crates of bottles that had been riddled, and we even caught a glimpse of wines being disgorged, dosaged, and corked in action. 🤩
It was a memorable, educational, and delicious experience. 💕Here is a lineup of wines we tasted - mostly blends of predominantly Chardonnay (with Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) and a Blanc de Blancs (100% Chardonnay).
All of these wines were lovely, though our favorite was the Vintage 2012 La Perle — ‘The Pearl’ — prestige cuvée, due to its richness, aromatics, and complexity. 👏👏👏🍾🍾🍾
