Yahoo! Lifestyle published a piece highlighting some great sparkling wine and Champagne options that won’t break the bank for New Year’s Eve celebrations this year, including Champagne Ayala Brut Majeur. The writer sought recommendations from Adrian Murcia, a sommelier for the Frankies Spuntino restaurant group and a wine educator. He commends Ayala Cellar Master Caroline Latrive for producing “extremely elegant, mineral-driven wines,” adding that Brut Majeur is about as “lovely as entry level can get.” Elaborating on the tasting experience, he notes “ripe pear, lemon curd and biscuit on the nose, terrific complexity and integration on the mid-palate—with extraordinary persistence on the finish.” Read what else has to say about Champagne Ayala HERE
