Ayala : Brut Nature

Ayala crafts a precise and gourmet Brut Champagne

The estate

In 1855, Edmond de Ayala traveled to Champagne and, in 1860 with his wife, founded the Champagne Ayala House. Remaining family-run, the Ayala house places passion and quality at the heart of its ambitions, with the goal of producing pure, elegant, and refined champagnes. Ayala's cuvées are naturally enjoyed, with no dosage. Ayala was the official supplier to the English Crown. In 2005, Ayala was taken over by the family-owned company Jacques Bollinger.
