This straightforward Champagne has a brassy personality, with brash grapefruit and apple flavors, crisp acidity and a tangy finish.

In 1584, Pierre Gosset, alderman of Ay and winemaker, produced wines, often red, with the harvest of its own vineyards. At the time, two wines competed for seats at the table of the kings of France: wine of Ay, and a few hundred miles further south, the wine of Beaune. Both were made from the same grape varieties: Pinot Black and Chardonnay. In the eighteenth century, the wines of Ay and the region became effervescent.
