The current release of Ayala Brut Majeur was disgorged in May of 2021. It offers up a lovely bouquet of apple, fresh-baked bread, a touch of hazelnut, a refined base of soil and a smoky topnote. On the palate the wine is bright, snappy and full, with a fine core of fruit, lovely mineral undertow, elegant mousse and a long, complex and vibrant finish. As this is a non-malo bottling, the wine has a fine spine of acidity to carry it nicely for many years to come. Good juice.
