Reviews
Wine Enthusiast - December 1, 2026 "A delicate nose carries high tones of peony and honeysuckle, layered with white peach, honeycomb, pastry dough, white tea, ginger, and cardamom. The palate is round yet precise. White peach and sweet baking spice linger on the midpalate before giving way to honeycomb and pulverized clay-chalky minerality. Rich yet elegant, this wine is hard to put down thanks to its generosity. It should only reward with more time in the cellar."
James Suckling - August 3, 2026 "An intensely minerally Champagne with wet chalk, fresh quince and basil on the nose. Energetic bubbles and a fine texture lead to a creamy mousse, followed by a long, vibrant finish of candied lemons, spicy grapefruit and a touch of salinity. 100% Chardonnay. Aged for six years on the lees. 5 g/L dosage."
Wine Spectator - August 29, 2025 "Racy acidity is infused with lemon-lime character, a tangy frame sculpting this minerally blanc de blancs. Wet chalk, smoke and oyster shell notes transition to flavors of apricot, toast point and blanched almond as the ride the lively bead."

Other Wines by this Producer
Rosé Majeur
Champagne
Rosé Majeur is the perfect embodiment of the originality and finesse of the House’s wines. Made predominantly from Chardonnay, it is crafted with the addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir from the best crus of the Montagne de Reims. A low dosage enables it to express the House style, both feminine and generous, with great elegance. The very high proportion of Chardonnay and the aging process result in a Champagne with remarkable finesse. It ages on the lees for three years, which is more than twice that is required by the appellation.
Brut Majeur
Champagne
Ayala Brut Majeur perfectly embodies the Chardonnay-focused style of Ayala. This cuvée achieves balance and finesse through low dosage, stainless-steel vinification, and three years of aging on lees. Made from over 70 crus across Champagne’s key regions, including the Côte des Blancs, Montagne de Reims, and Vallée de la Marne, each cru is fermented separately in 120 stainless-steel vats, preserving its unique characteristics. The result is a Champagne of exceptional complexity, capturing the richness and diversity of the region’s terroirs.
La Perle
Coteaux Varois
A treasure in the portfolio, La Perle is produced only in exceptional years, according to practices that have remained faithful to the Champagne tradition. Composed of a majority of Chardonnay, this wine captures the essence of the Champagne terroir, in the purest respect of the style of the House.
