Champagne Ayala Rose Majeur NV vs HERBERT HALL Brut English Sparkling Wine 2022

Champagne Ayala Rose Majeur NV

' Ayala is one of the longest established Champagne houses, and one of the original twenty-six Grandes Marques, based in Aÿ in the heart of the region. Pioneers of producing the now expected drier style, this house is synonymous with The Roaring Twenties. Since 2005, Ayala has been under the ownership and guidance of Bollinger, and with increased investment coupled with access to some of the best vineyards, and an individual hand-made approach, these wines offer the highest quality but also great value for money. Made predominantly with Chardonnnay and an addition of a small proportion of Pinot Noir, from the best Crus of Montagne de Reims, Rose Majeur offers finesse and elegance. Low dosage allows the House style to be expressed with the wine spending an average of 3 years ageing on its lees and resting for four to six months after disgorgement. '
