Ayala Champagnes: A Unique Style

The Ayala Style is distinguished by its purity and elegance, a characteristic that is particularly expressed through the house's emblematic grape variety, Chardonnay. Founded in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, the house has always emphasized the creation of low-dosage wines, which allows the primary aromas of the grapes to fully express themselves.

The Ayala Vineyard

Located in the heart of the Grands Crus of Champagne in Aÿ, the Ayala Vineyard benefits from an exceptional diversity of crus. The house sources its grapes from the Côte des Blancs, the Montagne de Reims, the Vallée de la Marne, and other prestigious terroirs, ensuring the richness and complexity of its cuvées.

Winemaking at Ayala

Ayala uses state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, including micro-vinification in individual stainless steel vats, which preserves the integrity and personality of each cru. The wines are then blended with great precision, a process that relies on the artisanal know-how passed down from generation to generation.

The Cellar Master

The current cellar master of Ayala, Julien Gout, is a true artisan of wine. His expertise and passion for Chardonnay are evident in every bottle produced by the house. Under his direction, Ayala continues to produce champagnes that reflect the purity and elegance of the house.
