Once known as “the sleeping beauty of Champagne,” the house re-ascended after being purchased by the Bollinger group in 2005. Based in the village of Aÿ, the style emphasizes a large Chardonnay component and low dosage. Wines are crafted by cellar master Caroline Latrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light gold with abundant, fine bubbles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open and expressive — citrus, flowers, and white fruits\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balanced, combining freshness and vinosity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Precise, fruity, and characterized by length\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ayala, Aÿ, Champagne, France (founded 1860; Bollinger group)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brut Non-Vintage — Brut Majeur\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCellar Master:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caroline Latrive\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHouse style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chardonnay-led, low dosage\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/champagne\"\u003echampagne at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ayala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42901980971079,"sku":"Y183560","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/0640\/2375\/files\/edbdd8fd7ddd28e9ee750_4ab898fc-716f-48b5-b268-f6f87b840865.png?v=1782423377","url":"https:\/\/bourbonnest.com\/products\/ayala-champagne-brut-majeur","provider":"Bourbon Nest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
