Winery Story

Hervé Augustin, born in Champagne and after 30 years of experience at Laurent-Perrier, de Castellane and then Bollinger, was appointed Mana... (more...)ging Director of Champagne Ayala in 2005. The quality of Ayala’s champagnes has been the permanent focus of Nicolas Klym, the “Chef de Cave” (or wine maker), for more than 25 years. Located in Aÿ, in the very heart of Champagne, Ayala has remained like a small jewel. Its limited production and the passion of the team are key factors for an outstanding quality that deserves to be better known.

Tasting Note

A major characteristic of this vintage, Pinot Noir shows a lot of strength to which the Chardonnay brings a nice touch of freshness. Lovely ... (more...)well-developed aromas of honey, acacia, toast and chestnut make this a very traditional Pinot Noir. The wine is well-structured, quite intense but definitely not heavy. it possesses a superb bouquet and is fabulous on the palate: this vintage is one of Ayala's best of the 1990's. DOSAGE: 8.2g/l

Really disappointed with this wine. Popped the cork (it popped), poured the wine (it fizzed) then went flat in 5 second... Very sad for the price.
