Ayala Champagne No7 GB
Unveil the artistry of Ayala Champagne No. 7 Grande Brut 2007, a 750ml limited-edition cuvée from the prestigious "Collection Ayala." Crafted from 7 Grands Crus of the Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims—Chouilly, Oger, Avize, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, Aÿ, and Verzenay—this 2007 vintage blends 67% Chardonnay and 33% Pinot Noir, aged over 10 years in Ayala’s cellars with a low dosage of 7g per L. The result is a radiant gold champagne with fine, persistent bubbles, exuding powerful yet delicate aromas of stewed plums, apricots, honey, and eucalyptus. The palate is soft yet structured, with elegant acidity, a creamy texture, and saline notes that lead to a lingering finish of radiant fruit. A testament to Ayala’s savoir-faire, this refined champagne pairs beautifully with creamy dishes like saffron risotto, veal medallions, or grilled lobster. A collector’s gem for those seeking exceptional complexity and elegance.
