Founded in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, Champagne Ayala is an independent, family-owned Champagne house nestled in Aÿ, in the heart of the Grands Crus. Now guided by the Champagne Bollinger stable, Ayala continue to combine tradition with modern finesse, to produce Champagne of wonderful purity.
Crafted from a meticulously chosen blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, Champagne Ayala Brut Majeur NV, represents the quintessential non‑vintage cuvée from one of Champagne’s most respected historic houses. A restrained yet expressive bouquet of citrus zest, white flowers, green apple, and pear, leading to delicate honey, toasted bread, lime, and yellow stone fruit notes. On the palate, it’s fresh and juicy, with fine mousse and pristine acidity, finishing dry yet creamy and persistent.
“95 Points. From the beautiful township and cellars in Ay, Champagne the bouquet delivers aromas of fresh oatmeal and white stone fruits, sweet citrus, fresh brioche, white blossoms and a core of mineral. Delicious, fresh, fine and complex on the palate. A bold and expressive mousse, crisp salivating acidity and fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. A core of minerality remains through the palate adding length and complexity. Perfectly balanced and long. Best drinking from purchase and through 2028+.”- Cam Douglas, MW.
