Brut Nature

Brut Nature demonstrates to perfection the high quality of grapes used by the House to craft its wines, and its remarkable expertise in vinification. Making a no-dosage wine is quite complex, and Ayala’s expression offers nothing short of purity and precision. Ayala’s Brut Nature is a blend of 55% Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir and 15% Pinot Meunier, and spends nearly 4 years in the cellar ageing so that the acidity is integrated. Zero dosage.

The color is bright gold, with a silver hue. The nose is direct but fine, and marked by precise notes of citrus fruit with a saline component. On the palate, the wine is complex and clean. It remains full of purity and tension, delivering dry mineral notes along with flavors of grapefruit and white fruit.
