The House of Ayala is a prestigious champagne house located in the Champagne region of France. Founded in 1860, it is renowned for its commitment to the quality and elegance of its champagnes. Established in 1860 by Edmond de Ayala, a Spanish nobleman, in Aÿ-Champagne, a village famous for its champagne production, the house quickly distinguished itself by its dedication to producing champagnes of exceptional quality, blending artisanal traditions with innovation. Ayala champagnes are primarily made from grapes sourced from the region's Grand Cru vineyards, with a particular focus on Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier. The house employs meticulous winemaking techniques, including fermentation in stainless steel tanks and extended aging on lees, which contribute to the complexity and finesse of its champagnes. Ayala is also known for its low dosage practices, meaning its champagnes generally have a lower sugar content, enhancing their freshness and minerality.
