Champagne Extra Brut
Perle Millésime 2015

The Champagne Perle Millésime 2015 embodies the authentic savoir-faire of Maison Ayala, founded in 1860. This exceptional cuvée originates from the founding crus of the Maison and is produced exclusively in the finest vintages. Always millésimé, only 12 vintages have been released from the cellars to date. This thirteenth vintage marks the 30th anniversary of a cuvée produced in an extremely limited edition.

A result of a rigorous selection of Grands Crus from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims, Perle 2015precisely expresses the perfect balance between freshness, finesse, and power. The exclusive blend consists of 80% Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs – Chouilly for balance and indulgence, Cramant for finesse and mineral freshness, Le Mesnil-sur-Oger for minerality and aging potential, Oger for character and intensity – and 20% Pinot Noir from the Montagne de Reims – Aÿ for structure and generosity. The 2015 vintage, characterized by a hot and dry summer, resulted in rich and rounded Chardonnay and powerful, generous Pinot Noir, creating a Champagne with great structure and depth.

Each bottle is the result of meticulous artisanal craftsmanship: aged for over 8 years under a cork stopper to develop extraordinary aromatic complexity, with remuage on pupitres and manual disgorgement. The final dosage is below 5 g/l – Extra Brut.

Upon tasting, Perle Millésime 2015 reveals an intense and luminous golden color, accompanied by fine effervescence. On the nose, it stands out for its complex and elegant bouquet, with notes of toasted bread, blond tobacco, and hazelnut, followed by hints of dried flowers and a touch of eucalyptus, the unmistakable signature of Pinots from Aÿ. On the palate, the attack reveals candied citrus, characteristic of the Côte des Blancs, offering a surprising freshness despite the warm vintage. The tasting experience evolves into cocoa and dried fruit, with a refined tannic structure and exceptional persistence.

A true masterpiece of oenology, perfectly balanced between freshness, complexity, and generosity.
