This cuvée Rosé Majeur is in keeping with the House's Ayala criteria of originality and delicacy. It is composed of a blend of 51% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir and 10% Meunier, which come from 24 exceptional crus (Premier and Grand Cru). This majority of Chardonnay, the House's emblematic grape variety, brings freshness and finesse to this Rosé blend. The Pinot Noir and Meunier grapes are used here for their fruitiness rather than structure. Finally, a small proportion of the red wine is made exclusively from Aÿ Pinot Noir (Grand Cru), famous for its generous fruit. After 3 years' ageing on lees, Champagne is blended at 6g/L. The result is a very elegant, gourmand and subtly dosed expression.
The Rosé Majeur from the Ayala house is a Champagne Rosé with sparkling pale pink La robe and copper highlights. The generous nose is driven by notes of red fruit, strawberry and redcurrant, as well as vine peach. The presence of Chardonnay, with its aromas of pastries, butter and freshness, is evident. The palate is powerful yet airy. Small red berries and juicy cranberries. The finish is voluptuous, persistent and seductive.
The Rosé Majeur de la Maison Ayala will be the ideal companion for lamb chops à la plancha, Porto and redcurrant jelly. For gourmets, it will sublimate a strawberry tartlet
