LE BLANC DE BLANCS A/18
 A SIGNATURE CUVÉE
 As the most featured grape variety in Champagne AYALA’s
 blends and the foundation of the pure and balanced style of the
 Maison, Chardonnay is the essence of the brand ambition
 embodying the excellence and expertise of this grape variety in
 Champagne.
 Therefore, Maison AYALA makes Le Blanc de Blancs its
 signature champagne and introduces A/18, a unique expression
 of this cuvée.
 This new 100% Chardonnay blend from the Grands and
 Premiers Crus captures the purity of chalk from both the Côte
 desBlancs andthe MontagnedeReims,fromthe2018vintage.
 This first vintage edition of A/18 will be followed by new
 expressions that will continue to explore the diversity of
 Champagne’s Chardonnay Terroirs. Champagne AYALA will
 craft new editions, bringing together complementary Terroirs
 that tell a new story, from one edition to the next.

The 2018 viticultural year: A rainy winter and a mild spring were
 followed by a dry, sunny summer, heralding optimal conditions for an
 early harvest. This meant that grapes were plentiful and in near-perfect
 condition, particularly the Chardonnays. Despite a warm year, the
 region’s finest Terroirs showed themselves at their very best, thanks to
 the coolclay sub-soils in the Champagneregion.
 IN THE WORDS OF OUR CELLARMASTER
 “Bright, with fine, dynamic bubbles. On the nose, AYALA Le Blanc de
 Blancs A/18 reveals elegant aromas of pear, grapefruit and
 jasmine, followed by honeyed tones. On the palate, the wine is
 forthright and open with notes of blood orange and pastry. An
 extremely vivacious wine with beautiful bitter notes and the chalky
 minerality that is so characteristic of Maison AYALA’s signature
 cuvée”.

 vivacious character makes it an excellent aperitif, but it would also
 go exceptionally well with starters or fish dishes such as scallop
 carpaccio, citrussy sea bass tartare, or oysters.

  6years of ageing from harvest to release
