In the same direction as Brut Nature Zéro Dosage, AYALA is proud to present this new Rosé Nature: a splendid wine in a lovely festive bottle. Rosé Nautre is a perfect expression of the splendid aromas and rich bouquets of the crus from which it is made. A very unique quality of AYALA’s Cuvée Rosé Nautre champagne is that this wine has not received any dosage at all!
BLEND
Cuvée Rosé Nature is a blend of premier and grands crus, with an extremely high average rating of 96% on the “échelle des crus” scale. 53% Chardonnay of Cuis, and Vertus, 39% Pinot Noir from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ, Verzy, Rilly la Montagne and 8% still red wine from Mareuil-sur-Aÿ (Pinot Noir from old vines). The wine has been made with perfectly ripe grapes from the superb 2002 vintage, which allows us to present this champagne in its’ beautiful “Rosé Nature” state.
TASTING NOTES
AYALA Cuvée Rosé Nature has a pale salmon-colored core enhanced by a beautiful necklace of fine and long-lasting bubble. On the nose, the bouquet displays the intensity of the Pinot Noir and the appealing red fruit notes of the red wine that is included in the blend. The same sensation remains on the palate, with a lovely lingering freshness and delicacy delivered by a very high proportion of Chardonnay.
