Product notes
The second opus of the "COLLECTION AYALA". Unique vintages in limited quantities revealed at their best. This ephemeral cuvée is assembled from 7 exceptional Grand Crus from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims from the 2007 vintage. Given its long cellar ageing and low dosage, N° 7 is a remarkable expression of the Ayala style. A noble cuvée with strong aromatic complexity and a silky texture. A Champagne of olfactive and tactile pleasures.

Tasting notes
Animated by a fine effervescence, its light golden robe suggests freshness and elegance. Nose: delicate and powerful at the same time, the nose plunges us into a rich and summery universe of pulpy and stewed fruits, sweet mirabelle plum, apricot, honey and subtle notes of eucalyptus. Palate : Very supple, effervescence and acidity are at the service of this noble substance. A sensation of silky, generous and creamy texture, evolving towards salty and mentholated notes, gives us the sensation of going from the fruit to the light. A powerful and persistent finish.
