LE BLANC DE BLANCS A/18  A SIGNATURE CUVÉE  As the most featured grape variety in Champagne AYALA’s  blends and the foundation of the pure and balanced style of the  Maison, Chardonnay is the essence of the brand ambition  embodying the excellence and expertise of this grape variety in  Champagne.  Therefore, Maison AYALA makes Le Blanc de Blancs its  signature champagne and introduces A/18, a unique expression  of this cuvée.  This new 100% Chardonnay blend from the Grands and  Premiers Crus captures the purity of chalk from both the Côte  desBlancs andthe MontagnedeReims,fromthe2018vintage.  This first vintage edition of A/18 will be followed by new  expressions that will continue to explore the diversity of  Champagne’s Chardonnay Terroirs. Champagne AYALA will  craft new editions, bringing together complementary Terroirs  that tell a new story, from one edition to the next.

THE ART OF BLENDING  A 100% Chardonnay blend from the Grands and Premiers Crus from  both the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims.  This first vintage edition of A/18 blends 6 complementary crus  selected from the 22 of Chardonnay that came into our winery during  the 2018harvest.  4 Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs  Chouilly | Freshness and fruit  Cramant | Liveliness and breadth  Le Mesnil-sur-Oger | Tension  Oger | Chalky minerality  1 Premier Cru from the Côte des Blancs  Cuis | Silky texture  1 Premier Cru from the Montagne de Reims  The 2018 viticultural year: A rainy winter and a mild spring were  followed by a dry, sunny summer, heralding optimal conditions for an  early harvest. This meant that grapes were plentiful and in near-perfect  condition, particularly the Chardonnays. Despite a warm year, the  region’s finest Terroirs showed themselves at their very best, thanks to  the coolclay sub-soils in the Champagneregion.  IN THE WORDS OF OUR CELLARMASTER  “Bright, with fine, dynamic bubbles. On the nose, AYALA Le Blanc de  Blancs A/18 reveals elegant aromas of pear, grapefruit and  jasmine, followed by honeyed tones. On the palate, the wine is  forthright and open with notes of blood orange and pastry. An  extremely vivacious wine with beautiful bitter notes and the chalky  minerality that is so characteristic of Maison AYALA’s signature  cuvée”.  Bisseuil | Depth  GASTRONOMY  Julian Gout, Cellar Master  Elegant, simple cuisine focussed around quality ingredients  without adornment, echoing the outstanding purity of this wine. Its  vivacious character makes it an excellent aperitif, but it would also  go exceptionally well with starters or fish dishes such as scallop  carpaccio, citrussy sea bass tartare, or oysters.  METICULOUS SAVOIR-FAIRE  Micro-vinification of individual plots in small stainless-steel vats   6years of ageing from harvest to release  SERVING TIPS  SERVICETEMPERATURE:10°  RECOMMENDED GLASSWARE: A tulip glass, round with a narrow  rim to showcase the wine’s aromas and flavours.  Dosage: Extra Brut: 5g/l, to express the purity of this wine’s style.
