NV Rosé Champagne Ayala, Rosé Majeur, Ay

Made predominantly with Chardonnnay and an addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir, from the best Crus of Montagne de Reims, Rosé Majeur offers finesse and elegance. Low dosage allows the House style to be expressed with the wine spending an average of 3 years ageing on its lees and resting for four to six months after disgorgement.

A delicate cherry hue with a hint of copper. The mousse is fine and persistent. The nose displays aromas of red fruits (strawberries, raspberries and morello cherries) together with nuances of spice. On the palate, the wine is light, fresh and well balanced. It has a rich, lasting finish with flavours of red gooseberry and raspberry lingering. Feminine and generous.

50% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir (Including 6% of still red wine), 10% Pinot Meunier

2017 Rathfinny Blanc de Blancs, Traditional Method Sparkling, Sussex

NV Champagne Veuve Fourny Blanc de Blancs 1er Cru, Vertus

93 Points, Allen Meadows (Burghound): �??An exceptionally fresh and airy nose that resembles a blend of freshly sliced lemon and green apple combined with baked brioche. This is also intensely effervescent with outstanding energy and punch if not quite the depth of the Nature yet with slightly better volume and finishing punch as well as even better length. A first rate effort and highly recommended plus it will reward, indeed needs, a certain amount of cellar patience. An elegant but superbly intense example.�?�

This cuvée is a great introduction to this small family house that specialises in Chardonnay. This wine offers richness but also finesse with subtle, white floral notes. It spent three years on its lees and was bottled with very low dosage. Very vinous with a nice mouthfeel. Great price!
