Ayala Majeur Brut Champagne

Intense, elegant nose, showing strawberries, lemon peel and pulp with a subtle, brioche character. Fine mousse with crisp long acidity and a lot of substance on mid-palate. Medium to full body, yet a cleansing, polished finish. 55% chardonnay, 30% pinot noir and 15% pinot meunier. Disgorged in 2024. Dosage 6g/L. Drinkable now, but best in 5-6 months, after developing more complexity. Score – 94. (jamessuckling.com, July 18, 2024)
