Ayala Le Blanc de Blancs 2015 Review
This is a very good example of what a balanced, aged Blanc de Blancs can be. It has wonderful balance, with a broad palate carried by the soft bubbles betraying almost-perfect acidity. There is a slight (comfy) bitter note on the finish that is complemented by a pop of sweetness.
