Ayala Rose Majeur Champagne
Champagne 12.5% ABV ABV AyalaGreat for celebrations
We cracked this open for New Year's and it was spot on. Not overly sweet like some rosé champagnes can be. There's actual complexity in there if you pay attention — flavours that sort of reveal themselves slowly. At 12.5% it's easy drinking too, the bottle didn't last long between four of us!
Solid rosé champagne
Picked this up after the guy at Majestic recommended it. Nice balance between the fruit and the acidity — not too sweet, not too dry. The finish lingers in a really pleasant way. Would definitely buy again for a special occasion.
Punches above its weight
I'm no expert but I know what I like, and this is properly good champagne. There's a real depth to it that surprised me — you keep finding new things in each sip. The finish is clean and composed and it doesn't have that harsh acidity some cheaper fizz gives you. £40 well spent.
New favourite rosé champagne
Tried this after seeing it recommended online somewhere. Really confident aromatics when you pour it, and the palate has proper structure to it — fruit and acidity working together rather than fighting each other. Kept going back for another sip which is always a good sign.
Birthday champagne that delivered
My wife got me this for my 40th and wow, what a bottle. Really expressive on the nose — you get hit with this lovely berry scent the second you pop it. The bubbles are fine and elegant and it just kept getting better as we worked through the bottle. At £40 it felt like proper luxury without being silly money.
Bit pricey for what it is
Saw this on a restaurant menu and ordered a glass. It's nice — good fruit, decent fizz, pleasant enough finish. But I reckon you're paying a premium for the champagne label here. I'd probably reach for a good Saumur rosé at £15-20 for everyday drinking.
Good but not mindblowing
Had this at a dinner party last weekend. It's well made and tasty enough, layers of flavour that come through as you sip it. But for £40 I was hoping to be a bit more impressed? I've had Crémant at half the price that I enjoyed just as much. Still a decent bottle though.
Perfect dinner party fizz
Brought this to my mate's engagement dinner and everyone loved it. Beautiful pink colour, smells gorgeous straight away, and it's got this clean finish that just makes you want another glass. Goes brilliantly with salmon or just on its own with nibbles.
