The NV Brut is always the best expression of the style of a great Champagne House. At AYALA, we take every step to make one of the finest Champagnes. And to show the exceptional quality of our wines, we created “Brut Nature”: Quality expressed in the wine’s most pure style.

Tasting notes

Pale gold in color with a fine mousse, the wine is extremely aromatic on the nose. On the palate, it is quite dry and shows great style and complexity. Pinot Noir gives the wine its richness and a long finish while Chardonnay, from the finest soils of the Côte des Blancs, adds delicacy, liveliness and freshness. Pinot Meunier, mainly from the Marne Valley, gives the wine an appealing fruitiness.

Wine maker notes

Pinot Noir 40%, Chardonnay 40% and Pinot Meunier 20%.The origin of the crus are good indications of the quality of the wines by their restrictive selection. Pinot Noir from Aÿ, Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Louvois, Bouzy, Tours-sur-Marne, Verzy, Rilly. Chardonnay from Cramant, Mesnil-sur-Oger, Cuis, Vertus and Rilly. Pinot Meunier from Venteuil, Cerseuil, St Martin d’Ablois, Chavot. The AYALA-blend has an extremely high average rating of 93% on the “échelle des crus” scale. Of this cuvée, 20% are reserve wines (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay).

Food pairing

Ideal as an aperitif, it pairs perfectly with seafood, caviar, scallops, lobster, crab, salmon; sushis and Asian food are also very good pairings. The Brut Nature compliments soft and mouldy cheeses such as Coulommiers, Brie and Brillat-Savarin. Pairings with desserts include crumbles with red berries or figs. Brut Nature can also be enjoyed after dinner with a cigar. And for ladies, it is also the perfect “diet champagne”!
