Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne
Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne“Pale gold in color. Very aromatic on the nose with a well-balanced palate showing great finesse and complexity. Delicately fresh and fruity notes with green apple, honey, biscuit and an elegant texture.” – Cellar Master Caroline Latrive
Brut Majeur is a blend of Pinot Noir (40%), Chardonnay (40%) and Pinot Meunier (20%). Pinot Noir and Chardonnay bring vinosity and delicacy together in a very harmoniously balanced blend. The complement of Pinot Meunier adds a touch of fruitiness and liveliness.

Billecart Salmon Extra Brut Champagne 2008
Billecart Salmon Extra Brut Champagne 2008This great 2008 is made from 65% Pinot Noir and 45% Chardonnay with a dosage of 4.5g/l. This is inspiring now, but give it a decade in the cellar to really be blown away. This is a monumental Champagne in what’s arguably the greatest vintage for French bubbles since 1996 (although a case could be made for the consideration of 2002, but how many angels can dance on the head of a pin anyway?)(And is it ever worth answering a rhetorical question?)(oops, never mind)
Boizel Blanc de Blancs
Boizel Blanc de BlancsThis pure Chardonnay is a blend of Premier and Grand Crus from the Côte des Blancs. Every single Cru reveals a special particularity: Chouilly for floral notes, Le Mesnil sur Oger for minerality, Cremant for power and elegance, and Vertus for refined fruit. The hand-picked grapes from these great sites develop their full potential during the long maturation process, resulting in wonderfully creamy finesse, elegance and character but also delicacy.
AGING
Post second fermentation, the wine is aged for four years on its lees, in bottle. 40% of reserve wines are used in this cuvee.
TASTING NOTES
The floral, very fine bouquet reveals fresh acacia and white flower aromas with seductive notes of fresh brioche and honey, topped with hints of almond and citrus. Creamy but delicate, with hazelnut, grapefruit and toasted brioche supported by fine minerality.
