Zero Dosage is the same blend as Ayala Brut Majeur but with absolutely no dosage, i.e. no added sugar: a quality Champagne expressed in its most pure style. Like the Brut, it is pale gold in color with a fine mousse and is extremely aromatic on the nose. On the palate, it is quite dry and shows great style and complexity. Pinot Noir gives the wine its richness and a long finish while Chardonnay, from the finest soils of the Cote des Blancs, adds delicacy, liveliness and freshness. Pinot Meunier, mainly from the Marne Valley, gives the wine an appealing fruitiness.

"Ayala has adopted very dry Champagne as something of a specialty, and this delicate and deliciously food-friendly wine shows why. It's so well balanced, with bone-dry citrus flavors integrated into a nervy texture."
