Description

Champagne Ayala Rosé Majeur is a beautiful expression of rosé champagne, characterized by its elegance, freshness, and delicate fruit flavors. Crafted by the esteemed Champagne Ayala, a house with a rich history dating back to 1860, this rosé is a testament to their commitment to quality and finesse. This is a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The exact proportions may vary slightly depending on the vintage, but the blend is carefully crafted to achieve the desired balance and complexity. The winemaking process for Ayala Rosé Majeur is meticulous, involving gentle pressing of the grapes and careful fermentation. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, a hallmark of traditional Champagne production, which imparts fine bubbles and complex aromas. A portion of the Pinot Noir is vinified as red wine and added to the blend, providing the rosé color and contributing to the wine's structure and fruitiness. It displays a vibrant pink hue with fine, persistent bubbles. On the nose, it offers an array of enticing aromas, including fresh red berries like strawberry and raspberry, complemented by delicate floral notes and a hint of citrus. On the palate, Ayala Rosé Majeur is dry and refreshing, with a creamy mousse and a lively acidity that enlivens the palate. The flavors of red fruit are prominent, balanced by subtle notes of brioche and a touch of spice. The finish is long and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of finesse and sophistication. The blend’s complexity comes from the 'assemblage' of 24 crus. This wine is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a variety of dishes. It is an excellent aperitif, perfect for celebrating special occasions or enjoying with friends. It also complements seafood, such as salmon or prawns, as well as light salads, goat cheese, and fruit-based desserts. Its vibrant fruitiness and refreshing acidity make it a delightful accompaniment to a wide range of cuisines. Serving it chilled, around 8-10°C (46-50°F), will enhance its flavors and aromas. This wine shows well immediately upon opening but can benefit from a few minutes of aeration to fully express its aromas. Ayala Rosé Majeur encapsulates the essence of Champagne with its elegance, finesse, and vibrant fruit flavors. Whether enjoyed as an aperitif or paired with a meal, it is sure to impress with its impeccable balance and refined character. This wine is more than just a beverage; it's an experience, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a testament to the art of Champagne making. It is a perfect choice for those seeking a rosé champagne that delivers both complexity and pure drinking pleasure.
