"Well-cut acidity defines the flavors of crushed raspberry, blood orange sorbet and pickled ginger carried on the fine, persistent mousse. White blossom, mineral and spice accents play on the finish. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. Disgorged October 2022. Drink now. 317 cases imported." -AN, 11/30/24

"The NV Brut Rosé Majeur is bright, punchy and super-expressive right out of the gate. Floral and mineral accents give this mid-weight Rosé notable verve. Grapefruit, crushed rocks, mint and orange peel open with a bit of coaxing. This is another terrific showing from Ayala. This release is 51% Chardonnay, 39% Pinot Noir, and 10% Meunier, with 43% reserve wines. A dollop of still Pinot (6%) rounds out the blend. Dosage is 6 grams per liter. Disgorged: October 2022." -YC, 10/24/24

"A dry style of rosé Champagne, this is crisp, hinting at red fruits and fresh spice. It is a fruity wine, but with a firm texture. The bottling is young and will be better from 2024." -RV, 12/1/23
