Ayala press mention from Sunday's Observer:

Ayala Brut Majeur Rosé Champagne,
France NV WINE OF THE WEEK
Champagne Ayala was taken over by the
neighbours at the more famous Bollinger

ever since. More than half the blend is
Chardonnay , and it’s a really fine pink
champagne for the money. Redcurrants
and raspberries and a graceful mousse
are shot through with precise acidity.

Availble for £30.59 per bottle at Connolly's!
