Champagne Ayala Collection N°16 Blanc de Blancs 2016 75cl

Regarding the Champagne Ayala Collection N°16 Blanc de Blancs 2016

The AYALA Collection is an illustration of the vision that has guided the Maison since its foundation: the cultivation of the diversity of Terroirs. It's a collection of ephemeral cuvées in limited, numbered quantities, unveiled at their peak and revealing the particular Terroirs that the Chef de Caves wanted to highlight through a singular year.

An exceptional Blanc de Blancs, Cuvée Collection N°16, Blanc de Blancs 2016 is blended exclusively from Grands Crus and Premiers Crus from the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims. A confidential cuvée that honors the diversity of white grape varieties through a blend of Chardonnay (50%) and forgotten Champagne varieties: Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc (50%).

After 6 years' ageing, this Blanc de Blancs Extra-Brut Champagne reveals a complex nose of mirabelle plum, candied lemon and white flowers. On the palate, the clean, acidic attack with notes of yuzu and eucalyptus becomes silky and elegant. This is a wine of great freshness. This chiselled champagne offers complexity and a long, saline finish.

AYALA Collection N°16 is the ideal partner for scallop ceviche, salmon gravlax or lemon tart. Please note that only 7357 bottles have been produced.
