Ayala Brut Majeur Champagne NV

Perfectly representative of the AYALA style and a super-classy Champagne. Light gold, abundant and fine bubbles. On the nose, open and expressive. Delicate, unveiling notes of sweet citrus fruit, flowers and white stone fruits. On the palate, balanced, combining both freshness and vinosity. Precise, balanced, fruity, with a long finish.

Established in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, Champagne Ayala is a venerable, family-owned champagne house nestled in Aÿ, at the heart of the Grands Crus. As a trailblazer in the creation of low-dosage wines, Champagne Ayala distinguishes itself through the sheer purity of its style.

Harnessing a bespoke savoir-faire, each cuvée eloquently expresses the refinement of Chardonnay, the signature grape variety of Champagne Ayala, embodying the distinctiveness of a locale where every element is meticulously crafted onsite, drawing from a rich diversity of crus sourced from Champagne's vineyards.

This artisanal approach, devoid of artifice, pays homage to the essence.

"Honour the Essence" encapsulates Maison Ayala's mission. Championing a wine style defined by its purity, with Chardonnay taking precedence in all blends and advocating for a mindful art of living, the house remains faithful to its founder, Edmond de Ayala, by perpetuating his belief that a broad spectrum of terroirs is essential for crafting exceptional champagnes.

In keeping with the enterprising spirit of its founder, the house is dedicated to a responsible and sustainable ethos, striving for a positive impact from vine to glass, in harmony with nature and humanity.
