Ayala Brut Majeur
Ficha técnica
Opinión de los críticos
A layered wine with spicy, almost stony, minerality. Salted lemons and oranges. Crisp on the palate with light to medium body and flavors of strawberries and restrained pastry. Chalky mineral aftertaste. Dosage 6 g/L. Disgorged November 2024. Drink or hold.
Although the 2021-based Brut Majeur is perhaps a notch below the excellent 2020, it still shines with its precise, pristine Chardonnay-dominant style. Full of crunchy apples and pears, backed up with a little bread crust richness but no overt creaminess or weight, it's a perfectly poised aperitif style. Fine value.
