Champagne Ayala

La Perle 2012

The Champagne La Perle 2012 by Maison Ayala is a blend of Chardonnay (80%) and Pinot Noir (20%) and brings together only the best Grands Crus such as Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil- sur-Oger and Verzy. After long ageing in the cellar, the bottles remain sealed with a cork for at least 8 years, while the remuage and disgorgement are done manually. This Cuvée de Prestige reveals the style of the Maison  with intensity and sublimates the essence of the Champagne region terroir. A Champagne of rare elegance and great purity, combining finesse and aromatic complexity. It is produced in extremely limited quantities, only in the best vintages.

The Champagne La Perle 2012 by Maison Ayala has an intense and brilliant gold colour with fine and delicate bubbles. The nose is expressive and complex, with notes of orange and clove, gingerbread, Madagascar vanilla, subtle hints of hazelnut and light tobacco. On the palate it reveals great minerality and tension. A first impression of purity and freshness with notes of menthol and cooked fruit; a sensation of Ecuadorian chocolate and a nice density. The finish is bright and long with acidulous and delicate notes of verbena and linden.
