Equally at home on a gourmet table or as a distinguished aperitif, Champagne AYALA’s Blanc de Blancs 2008 is an ideal festive wine, presented in a beautiful gold-colored packaging. This new 2008 vintage is particularly racy, intense and generous.
Blanc de Blancs de Champagne AYALA is produced in limited quantities and only in exceptional years, such as the 2008 vintage. This wine perfectly expresses all the nobility of the Chardonnay grape, from the finest Côte des Blancs vineyards: Chouilly (60%) and Le Mesnil-sur-Oger (40%) for the 2008 vintage. Long ageing on the lees for 6 years in the cellar, a structure imbued with remarkable minerality and a low dosage of 6 g/l make this a top-flight wine.
A particularly racy, intense and generous 2008
Pale gold in color, luminous and brilliant, with fine, abundant bubbles, Blanc de Blancs 2008 reveals a racy, open, intense nose that is immediately generous. Delicate, noble notes of hawthorn, mirabelle plum and white peach mingle with almond and exotic fruit. The attack is precise, giving way to an ample, voluminous and dense palate of remarkable intensity and depth. The white-fleshed fruit and citrus aromas are precise and well-balanced, with a pronounced minerality. The finish is fine and delicate, offering aromatic persistence and concentration of rare length.
The aromatic purity of Champagne AYALA’s Blanc de Blancs 2008 makes it a refined aperitif, but it’s also the perfect accompaniment to a variety of white fish such as turbot, sea bream or Saint-Pierre. Ideal with sea bass with lemon beurre blanc, scallop carpaccio with pink berries or lobster with vanilla.
Blanc de Blancs 2008 by Champagne AYALA is available from all good wine merchants at a retail price of €49 incl. VAT.
