Ayala Perle Grand Cru 2015 Champagne

A timeless tasting experience AYALA Perle is crafted with a blend of the House’s style founding crus from a single harvest. Exclusively with Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, each bottle is unique—as are the wines that make up the blend, which are selected for their outstanding ageing potential: Aÿ, Chouilly, Cramant, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger and Oger have been carefully selected for this 2015 vintage. Long cellar-ageing—over 8 years under natural cork—has given Perle a complex aroma profile. Using natural cork enables micro-oxygenation and ensures the development of particularly crystalline aromas, while also improving the wine’s ageing potential. Riddling is carried out on traditional oak pupitres in the depths of the Aÿ cellars. Every bottle is a true work of craftsmanship, disgorged by hand at 5g/L for this 2015 vintage and left to rest for one year in the cellars before shipment. Hidden in the darkness of traditional vaulted cellars, Perle praises the rare, exceptional moment in life and unveils itself a little more with each new vintage. The chalk keeps track of the water that has passed since 1995, the year of Perle’s first vintage, and helps to preserve optimal ageing conditions for the wine. This 13th vintage of Perle is the latest release as a witness to the living memories of the historic House of Aÿ and as a tribute to artisanal know-how.

The tasting

Colour: An intense and brilliant gold with delicate bubbles. Nose: Aromas of toasted bread, mild tobacco and hazelnut followed by notes of dried flowers with a hint of eucalyptus, characteristic of Pinots from Aÿ. Palate: Notes of candied citrus fruits, typical from the Côte des Blancs but creating the surprise in a vintage as warm as 2015. The tasting continues with notes of cocoa and dried fruits. All tasting long, beautiful bitters structure the wine which shows a great length. A subtle balance between freshness, complexity and generosity.
