Ayala, Cuvée No 7 2007

RRP £70

The newest member of Ayala’s collection of one-off prestige cuvées. The rich, evolving yeast-infused nose brings Chardonnay’s lemony and buttery tones to the fore. Behind, there is ripe apple and cotton candy sweetness. Comprised of fruit from seven grands crus, this is intense and creamy. The maturity and complexity of the nose marry well with the freshness and vigour of the palate. A long, seductively textured and clean finish.
