N°16 is an outstanding Blanc de Blancs made entirely from Grands and Premiers crus from the Côte des Blancs and the Montagne de Reims. It is a limited edition cuvée which honours Champagne’s various white varietals through a blend of Chardonnay and the region’s old grape varieties: Arbane, Petit Meslier and Pinot Blanc.

AYALA Collection N°16 expresses the willingness of the oenological team in creating a unique cuvée blending crus and original grape varieties thanks to 2016 vintage.- Hadrien Mouflard, Managing Director at Maison AYALA

The Vintage:
2016 was a year of extreme weather in the Champagne region. After a sunny autumn and a mild winter, the spring was cool and extremely wet. The scorching temperatures in the summer enabled the grapes to attain a nice balance and full maturity resulting in a magnificent harvest and perfectly balanced grapes with great ageing potential.
