NV Ayala "Brut Majeur" Champagne, France

ABOUT THIS WINE

When Edmond de Ayala founded the House in 1860, he focused on crafting a champagne with a singular and recognizable style, now known as Ayala Brut Majeur. A pure and balanced champagne that reveals the diverse personalities of the crus of the Champagne terroir. 

Crafted from a unique diversity of crus in Champagne, this cuvée is a blend of multiple crus and vintages, with Chardonnay as the dominant grape variety. To preserve its purity, the House applies its expertise in meticulous, hands-on winemaking, striving for minimal intervention. Micro-vinification in 120 small stainless steel tanks, allowing for high-precision blending. 3 years on lees on average.
